Dalziels' Bible Gallery - Joseph's Coat - Engraved Woodblock1863 – 1870 Accession number: 2006.1040.22 Engraved boxwood block. Width: 173 mm Height: 177 mm Depth: 23 mm InformationBrown accepted a commission from the Brothers Dalziel to execute three illustrations for their Bible Gallery in 1863. This is the engraved woodblock for 'Joseph's Coat.' Birmingham also holds an early compositional sketch for this illustration (1906P788) and three versions of the final wood engraving (1912P47, 2007.13.22, 2007.13.2.22). As can be seen from this woodblock, in the final design Brown added a man on a ladder in the background as a reference to Jacob's ladder.LM
