Description: | A bromide print photograph entitled 'Rebecca', taken by John P Carney, c. 1935. The story of Rebecca is told in the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament. Rebecca married Isaac after passing a test devised by Eliezer to find the most suitable bride for his master. The test involved offering water not only to Isaac, but to his camels as well. Rebecca is often shown holding an urn or jug, depicting the moment she filled the camels' water troughs from the well. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photograph bromide print | Temporal: | c. 1935 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Carney, John P | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20980 | Go to resource |
