BOWYER BIBLE PRINTS: THE BOOK OF EXODUS This image-collection contains prints illustrating the Book of Exodus in the Bowyer Bible in the sequence in which they are arranged in this grangerised version of the Macklin Bible. The artists represented here had no doubts about the historical veracity of the events delineated; this, together with their lack of the knowledge about historical dress and middle eastern topography which only became prevalent a hundred years after the creation of this collection makes the artworks curious as well as compelling. Robert Bowyer (1758-1834) spent a fortune on his own copy of the Macklin Bible which he expanded to 45 volumes after acquiring and inserting over 6200 different prints of Biblical events. He had a custom designed bookcase built just to house his collection; The Bowyer Bible is now housed in Bolton Museums and Archives who acquired it in 1948. These and many other of the illustrations have been made available online via social media by Phillip Medhurst (b.1948). The titles of the prints in this collection are as follows:- 01-moses-in-the-bulrushes-exodus-cap-2-v-3-vandyck 02-moses-in-the-bulrushes-exodus-cap-2-v-3-westall 03-the-genealogy-of-moses-and-aaron-exodus-cap-6-v-24-luyken-and-son 04-the-staff-of-aaron-is-turned-into-a-serpent-exodus-cap-7-vv-7-10-12-le-clerc 05-the-plague-of-frogs-exodus-cap-8-vv-2-14-pintz 06-the-plague-of-lice-exodus-cap-8-v-17-jan-luyken 07-the-plague-of-lice-exodus-cap-8-vv-17-19-pintz 08-the-plague-of-flies-exodus-cap-8-v-24-jan-luyken 09-the-plague-of-flies-exodus-cap-8-v-24-luyken-and-son 10-the-plague-of-flies-exodus-cap-8-v-24-mortier 11-murrain-in-the-livestock-exodus-cap-9-v-6-jan-luyken 12-murrain-in-the-livestock-exodus-cap-9-v-6-luyken-and-son 13-murrain-in-the-livestock-exodus-cap-9-vv-1-6-marillier 14-murrain-in-the-livestock-exodus-cap-9-vv-1-7-caspar-luyken 15-murrain-in-the-livestock-exodus-cap-9-vv-1-7-le-potre 16-murrain-in-the-livestock-exodus-cap-9-vv-1-7-mortier 17-murrain-in-the-livestock-exodus-cap-9-vv-3-6-pintz 18-murrain-in-the-livestock-exodus-cap-9-vv-6-9-le-clerc 19-the-plague-of-boils-exodus-cap-9-v-10-luyken-and-son 20-the-plague-of-boils-exodus-cap-9-vv-8-11-frederich 21-the-phillip-medhurst-picture-torah-333-the-plague-of-boils-exodus-cap-9-vv-8-12-caspar-luyken 22-the-plague-of-boils-exodus-cap-9-vv-8-12-marillier 23-the-plague-of-boils-exodus-cap-9-vv-10-11-jan-luyken 24-the-plague-of-boils-exodus-cap-9-vv-10-11-mortier 25-the-plague-of-hail-and-fire-exodus-cap-9-v-22-luyken-and-son 26-the-plague-of-hail-and-fire-exodus-cap-9-vv-18-26-frederich 27-the-plague-of-hail-and-fire-exodus-cap-9-vv-22-23-marillier 28-the-plague-of-hail-and-fire-exodus-cap-9-vv-23-25-jan-luyken 29-the-plague-of-hail-and-fire-exodus-cap-9-vv-23-25-mortier 30-the-plague-of-locusts-exodus-cap-10-vv-13-14-marillier 31-the-plague-of-locusts-exodus-cap-10-vv-13-15-jan-luyken 32-the-plague-of-darkness-exodus-cap-10-v-21-luyken-and-son 33-the-plague-of-darkness-exodus-cap-10-vv-21-24-heuman 34-the-plague-of-darkness-exodus-cap-10-vv-22-23-marillier 35-preparing-the-original-passover-meal-exodus-cap-12-vv-8-10-sperling 36-the-original-passover-exodus-cap-12-vv-21-22-marillier 37-the-first-born-are-smitten-exodus-cap-12-v-29-le-clerc 38-the-egyptian-first-born-are-smitten-exodus-cap-12-vv-19-31-hoet 39-the-israelites-depart-exodus-cap-12-vv-23-29-mortier 40-the-egyptian-first-born-are-smitten-exodus-cap-12-vv-29-30-caspar-luyken 41-the-egyptian-first-born-are-smitten-exodus-cap-12-vv-29-30-dutch-bible 42-the-egyptian-first-born-are-smitten-exodus-cap-12-vv-29-30-frederich 43-the-egyptian-first-born-are-smitten-exodus-cap-12-vv-29-30-marillier 44-the-first-born-of-egypt-are-smitten-exodus-cap-12-vv-29-31-mortier 45-the-israelites-leave-egypt-exodus-cap-12-v-51-heuman 46-the-israelites-come-to-succoth-exodus-cap-12-v-37-tyroff 47-the-israelites-pass-through-the-red-sea-exodus-cap-14-v-16-tyroff 48-the-israelites-pass-through-the-red-sea-exodus-cap-14-v-22-tyroff 49-moses-commands-the-return-of-the-red-sea-exodus-cap-14-pozzi 50-the-israelites-cross-the-river-jordan-joshua-cap-3-vv-14-17-callot 51-the-pursuing-egyptians-are-drowned-in-the-red-sea-exodus-cap-14-vv-26-28-le-clerc 52-the-pursuing-egyptians-are-drowned-in-the-red-sea-exodus-cap-14-vv-27-28-marillier 53-the-israelites-collect-manna-exodus-cap-16-vv-14-17-le-potre 54-moses-comes-down-mount-sinai-exodus-cap-24-vv-2932-marillier 55-the-sacred-furniture-of-the-tabernacle-exodus-cap-25-vv-1040-merian 56-the-ark-of-the-covenant-exodus-cap-25-le-clerc 57-the-ark-of-the-covenant-exodus-cap-25-vv-1012-merian 58-the-tabernacles-sacred-furniture-exodus-cap-25-vv-1040-marillier 59-the-table-of-acacia-wood-exodus-cap-25-vv-2325-heuman 60-the-table-of-acacia-wood-for-the-shewbread-exodus-cap-25-vv-2325-tyroff 61-the-acacia-table-for-shewbread-exodus-cap-25-vv-2730-gunst 62-the-altar-for-incense-exodus-cap-30-vv-1-2-heuman 63-the-altar-of-incense-exodus-cap-30-vv-1-2-heuman 64-preparing-a-sacrifice-exodus-cap-30-vv-23-24-pintz 65-preparing-a-sacrifice-exodus-cap-30-vv-34-35-sperling 66-the-hebrews-worship-the-golden-calf-exodus-cap-32-vv-519-marillier 67-moses-breaks-the-tables-of-the-law-exodus-cap-32-v-19-after-parmagiano 68-moses-receives-the-tables-of-the-law-exodus-cap-34-vv-29-35-heuman 69-offerings-to-the-sanctuary-exodus-cap-36-vv-1-7-mortier 70-the-brazen-altar-and-the-laver-exodus-cap-38-vv-1-8-mortier 71-the-altar-of-incense-exodus-cap-39-v-38-gunst 72-the-menorah-and-altar-of-incense-exodus-cap-39-vv-37-38-mortier 73-the-brazen-altar-exodus-cap-39-v-39-gunst
