About this Item
The chromolithograph illustration titled "The Prophecy on Mount Olivet" is a vivid and spiritually charged scene from John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress," created by James Sangster around 1870. This illustration depicts a significant biblical event where Christ delivers a prophecy to his disciples on the Mount of Olives, a moment rich with eschatological significance. The central figure, Christ, stands with an authoritative and compassionate demeanor, his right hand extended in a gesture of teaching or blessing. Surrounding him are his disciples, seated or kneeling on the rocky terrain, their expressions a mix of attentiveness, awe, and contemplation. The landscape in the background, with its soft, rolling hills and muted colors, adds a sense of tranquility and timelessness to the scene. The phrase "The Prophecy on Mount Olivet" at the bottom of the illustration underscores the narrative's focus on Christ's teachings about the end times, as recorded in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The imprint "Leighton Bros." signifies the publishers, renowned for their high-quality lithographic prints during the late 19th century. This illustration not only showcases James Sangster's artistic skill but also encapsulates the profound spiritual and moral lessons embedded in Bunyan's allegorical work.Approximate Image Size: 9 x 6 1/4 inches.

The process was based on lithography printing on stone, but extended so that a separate stone, each with its own color, was laid on top of the previous one. Thus, the paper sheet was printed on several times before the print was finished. This required both a number of stones and a very precise method for laying the stones.
