Reproduction of Gustave Doré’s drawing from the Illustrated Bible features Samson’s capture by the Philistines, his plea to the Lord, and the collapse of the house that killed the Philistines and Samson, ending with the verse Judges 16. The piece evokes biblical tragedy and epic scale through graphic art.
A collage of business names and contact lines from Winchester Virginia lists services from insurance agencies, lumber and building supplies, cleaners, tire shops, hardware, flower shops, and farm bureaus. Multiple entities appear with addresses and phone numbers, highlighting a bustling regional economy.
