I’m also surprised at the variety of subject matter. Most are expected, but the dead Abel and Cain on a litter certainly are unique.

Lastly, I think the color print of “The Banishment” was used until relatively recently. At least it’s the first in this series that looks familiar to me from a “church library” context.

If you want to reuse pictures and want a JPEG sent directly, rather than lifting it from the blog, send me an email anytime at keepapitchinin [at]AOL[dot] com. Just don’t make it a last-minute request — I sometimes don’t think to check Keepa’s mailbox every day.

Regarding Photobucket–do you have a shared album generally available?

Doug, some of the sources indicate what museum an item was in a hundred years ago, and of course theoretically I could provide a citation for the book or magazine or Bible where I scanned each picture. This is an exceptionally time- and labor-intensive series of posts, though — I’m foolish for even attempting it, if you only know HOW much time it takes — so I decided early on to compromise academic standards for the sake of simply being able to post anything at all. I have not recorded citations for each image beyond the name of the artist, where available (if the artist isn’t named here, he wasn’t named in my source, either). Sorry. If there were a real and serious need to track down a citation — maybe I’ve unknowingly scanned the missing piece someone has been searching for to complete his dissertation — I might be able to relocate and cite a source. It would have to be just about that critical a need, though, for me to add to the time I have already invested in this series. I just can’t afford it.

Thanks for your overall appreciation of Keepa.

I join the chorus in thanking you for gleaning these wonderful illustrations. I’m always on the prowl for this type of work for my Sunday school handouts.

Do your sources provide more credit details for the pics? I like to have as much information in that regard as possible.

Thank you again for ‘Keepa’ in general and this series of posts more specifically.

Doug

I also found “Cain and his family” fascinating.

Thanks for posting these!
