Treasures from the Biblical Art Collection The Grand Review.  Print size 16 x 24, and works beautifully with a 16 x 24 frame, or custom framed as you see fit.

Johann Jakob Scheuchzer was a true polymath during the Age of Enlightenment.  His early 18th century monumental illustrated work, Physica Sacra, celebrates the wonders of the Bible and the wonders of science, in many cases seeking to reconcile the two with his own views of how things must truly be.  That legacy leaves us with a fairly amazing combination of very traditional renditions of great moments from the Bible and others seen through the lens of his era and interpreted at times differently now.

We have been collecting leaves from disbound editions of the Physicra Sacra for years.  Putting them through our process, we feature two distinct versions of each image.  One featuring the classical Latin text and discarding the ornate Old German, the other doing just the opposite.  We've found our choices have brought a certain harmony to the layout, much more suitable now as a large print.

Our restored version of this print has proved very popular with Jews here and abroad.  Rather than wax poetic about the spiritual importance of The Bris here to an audience who will almost universally know more than I do about its meaning I will, if I may, share a story.

My beloved has been going to the same dentist for 30 years, and I have gone to him for nearly 20.  He is a special man in the joy he seems to generate as well as his utter mastery of every conceivable aspect of dentistry.

He has several children, and his youngest son is now a freshly minted Rabbi.  I don't know his kids, but the way he speaks of them I get the sense that the most joyful of this rather happy family is the new Rabbi.  After showering him with mazel tovs, I showed Dr. S this print and asked his advice how I should best get it seen by mohels everywhere.  I figured, beyond the biblical story told therein, the decorative border festooned with ancient flint knives for the ceremony would delight every mohel who saw it, and a great many families who have come together for the Brit Milah.

We suddenly fell into a short, unexpected comedy routine worthy of a Mel Brooks bit.  "Mohel" he said, in a correcting tone.  "Yes, 'mohel'" I replied, sounding every bit the WASP Quaker kid from Pennsylvania.  Mine sounded like Popeye's girlfriend's last name, but with an M.  "Mohel" he said again, now in more of a patient but emphatic teaching tone, clearly comfortable with a lifetime of hearing and pronouncing Hebrew.  "Mohel!" I said, louder, with considerable enthusiasm, trying for a split second of hesitation between the beginning and ending of the word.

It did go on from there...

A NOTE ON OUR PROCESS, OUR CHOICES AND THE QUALITY OF THE GRAPHIC CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT GOES INTO OUR PRINTS.

Every print we deem exciting enough to present to the public via our Etsy store or available here at our studio has gone through a number of steps.  The first of those is always discovering and falling in love with an obscure image, always an original that we can hold in our hands.  That image is speaking to us, sometime screaming “Don’t leave me here.  See what I am, what I was, what I can be, what I SHOULD be!”

There is a real sense of excitement involved, and a great many smiles and knowing grins when we make that deal and bring that ancient print, that battered photo, that scrap of ephemera that contains some scrap of genius from an unknown commercial artist home with us, knowing already how we mean to approach its restoration.

There is the heady promise of a further hunt just as real as what drags a weekend fisherman out of bed at 3AM to work a favorite brook as we start our research, looking for that great backstory, and both ready and willing to tumble down as many rabbit holes as are revealed to us to get that story.

Then there is a meticulous digital restoration that is as often as much fun as riding a vintage Moto Guzzi on a winding coastal road.  I don’t care if that sounds crazy, it really is like jumping in the saddle!  So many choices, so many chances to take to subtly or spectacularly give new life to otherwise permanently obscure images.

This dedication and the ongoing rush of joy in the accomplishment of it, and the opportunity to share the results in our studio and here on Etsy, is the fire of passion that keeps these engines roaring. We make every effort to ensure our customers are not just satisfied but thrilled, and we happily stand 100% behind our work.

Vader may be Down, but he is far, far from out.
Format: Paperback
I have been consistently pleased with the Darth Vader and Star Wars comic series, and the Vader Down crossover kicks it up to 11. It is easy, watching the movies, to forget how powerful Vader truly is. Anakin Skywalker was a prophesied Jedi Hero, or phenomenal raw talent. In only a few years he outclassed Jedi Knights who had been training two or three times as long as he had, but in the Original Trilogy, we have very few glimpses of that power. Not so in Vader Down. I won't spoil it, but let's just say Darth Vader has an impressive kill count. Within the lightsaber duels, fire fights, and interstellar dog fights, Vader Down (And the rest of the Darth Vader series) still finds time to build, if not sympathy, at least understanding for Darth Vader as a character. He is still a villain, but you find yourself rooting for his success more often than not. Overall, a phenomenal read. I cannot recommend it enough.

Surprisingly Great Story!
Format: Kindle
This TPB takes place right after the events of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Darth Vader comes out of hyperspace in his lone TIE Interceptor nose to nose with 2 squadrons of Rebel X Wings. Excellent action sequences ensue. This is my first acquaintance with the Star Wars Universe in Marvel comics (apart from the 80's books) and if Vader Down is an accurate representation of the quality of work, it's comparable to the fantastic job Marvel did on Stephen King's Dark Tower prequels. This was also my first digital purchase of any comic for my Kindle. While having a hard copy of the comic would be a lot preferable, the $3.99 purchase price was a bargain to own the story.

Sooooo good!
Format: Kindle
I love how this book is set between the first two original movies. Vader is just amazing and Doctor Aphra is one of those characters I have fell in love with. I honestly felt like I was reading a scene from a movie. Such an amazing book.

Good, but violent - parent discretion advised
Format: Paperback
I got this because of great reviews and because I am a huge Star Wars fan. First thing, this is not for younger readers as it is extremely violent. But overall I found it highly enjoyable. The artwork is fantastic. Vader is a total bad###. The only part I didn't like, and the reason I'm taking off a star, is there was one character who (trying not to reveal any spoilers here) is essentially a mash-up of two other characters from the Star Wars saga...like somebody's kid popped the head off of one action figure and stuck it on another and the author saw that and said, hey, that would be the perfect plot twist for this story. Nevertheless, it was a fun read and I recommend it to fans of Star Wars and Darth Vader in particular.
