About the work
This drawing was made by Edward John Poynter for reproduction in the Dalziel Bible Gallery of 1881. The woodengraving taken from it is in the collection at E.2854-1904. The use of photography to transfer drawings to the blocks had a number of advantages for the artist. He could work on paper and make the drawing the same way round as it was to be printed, leaving the camera to reverse it during the transfer process. The camera could also reduce or enlarge the drawing to the size of the block.
