From Macklin’s Bible (also known as The Bible Gallery), one of the most ambitious illustrated Bible projects of the 18th century.
 
This hand-colored engraving shows Moses with the Tablets of the Law and Aaron with the censer, standing before the Tabernacle, with the pillar of cloud rising above. A fine example of Stothard’s neoclassical style and an important work from Macklin’s monumental Bible project.
