To: Hebrews 11:6
I have seen No. 27 (the Holman Hunt) in person, in St. Paul's Cathedral, London.

This is the third version -- which Hunt painted because the original was kept in Keble College and the college was charging admission to see it! No. 27 is the 2nd version, which is at the Manchester City Art Gallery.

I knew S.H. Sime from his illustrations of Lord Dunsany's fantasy tales . . . but had no idea he had illustrated Revelation.

I had wondered about the versions. Thanks for the backstory.
