The Parables of Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, Illustrated by J.E. Millais

This superb work, first published in 1864, contains thirty-three of Our Lord’s Parables, of which nineteen were masterfully illustrated by John Everett Millais and beautifully finished by the Dalziels brothers, master engravers whose skills were applied to many of the most important works of the day. For this particular project, the Dalziels used wood engravings.

The Parables were an important work for Millais, and he spent over six years developing and illustrating them. It was time well spent. For as the original publisher states in the preface, it allowed Millais “to give that care and consideration to his subjects, which the beauty as well as the importance of ‘The Parables’ demanded.”

With this new edition, the guidance and inspiration that The Parables have brought to so many, is once again available together with the beauty of Millais’s magnificent illustrations.
