Oryginalna ilustracja medalierska Thomason's Medallic Illustration of the Holy Scriptures [Bible], Number 48 - Shadrach, Meshack & Abednego in the fiery furnace. Według Carlo Maratta. (Thomason D. na dolnej krawędzi awersu).
Thomason Medallic Bible to zestaw sześćdziesięciu medali wybitych w 1830 roku, który oddaje istotę całej Biblii w sztuce medalierskiej. Projekty awersów zostały zainspirowane dziełami znanych renesansowych artystów i wykonane przez kilku różnych rytowników. Rewers każdego medalu zawiera gęsty cytat tekstowy lub wyjaśnienie opisujące temat każdego medalu. Zestaw został wyprodukowany w Birmingham w Anglii przez Sir Edwarda Thomasona, który poczuł boskie natchnienie, by "promować chwałę Boga poprzez wyciskanie słowa Bożego na złocie, srebrze i innych niezniszczalnych metalach". Birmingham, Anglia, ok. 1830 r.
Inspirowane przez: Carlo Maratta

Uwaga: Prawidłowa pisownia to FIERY, a nie FIREY, jak na medalu.

An original Thomason’s Medallic Illustration of the Holy Scriptures [Bible], Number 48 - Shadrach, Meshack & Abednego in the fiery furnace. After Carlo Maratta. (Thomason D. at lower obverse rim).
 The Thomason Medallic Bible is a set of sixty medals struck in 1830 that captures the essence of the entire Holy Bible in medallic art. The obverse designs were inspired by the works of well-known Renaissance artists and executed by several different engravers. The reverse of each medal contains a dense text quotation or explanation describing the topic of each medal. The set was produced in Birmingham, England by Sir Edward Thomason, who felt divinely inspired to “promote the glory of God by impressing the word of God upon gold, silver and other indestructible metals”. Birmingham, England, c. 1830.
 Inspired by: Carlo Maratta

 Note: The correct spelling is FIERY not FIREY like it is on the medal.
