Comment
An original Thomason’s Medallic Illustration of the Holy Scriptures [Bible], Number 40 - Solomon's Temple. After Bandinelli. (Thomason D. at lower obverse rim).The Thomason Medallic Bible is a set of sixty medals struck in 1830 that captures the essence of the entire Holy Bible in medallic art. The obverse designs were inspired by the works of well-known Renaissance artists and executed by several different engravers. The reverse of each medal contains a dense text quotation or explanation describing the topic of each medal. The set was produced in Birmingham, England by Sir Edward Thomason, who felt divinely inspired to “promote the glory of God by impressing the word of God upon gold, silver and other indestructible metals”. Birmingham, England, c. 1830.
1022 B.C. (Quotations from Book of Kings)
