I am fascinated historical Bible illustrations. This woodcut by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld is from the 1860 Die Bibel in Bildern. It is a beautiful composition. Yet it takes liberties with the Hebrew text. It shows multiple metal trumpets, not the single shofar described in the text (Exodus 19:19).
