"The Fall of the Walls of Jericho" is a wood engraving by Henry Hugh Armstead created in 1881. It depicts the biblical story of the Israelites marching around the city of Jericho, blowing trumpets, causing the walls to collapse. The engraving is a detailed and dramatic depiction of the event, with the Israelites in the foreground and the city of Jericho in the background. Armstead's work is known for its realism and attention to detail, and this piece is a fine example of his skill. The engraving was originally part of "Dalziels' Bible Gallery," a series of illustrations commissioned by the publishers Dalziel Brothers.
