This wood engraving by Thomas Dalziel, titled *Abram Instructing Sarah–Abram Parting from Lot*, is a detailed and dramatic illustration from *Dalziels' Bible Gallery*. It depicts two scenes, one of Abram instructing his wife Sarah and the other of his parting from his nephew Lot. The work is characteristic of the Victorian-era illustrations that were popular in the late 19th century and is considered an example of the “Bible Illustrated” genre. The image is a fine example of the artistry of the Dalziel brothers, well-known for their innovative techniques in wood engraving.
