Summary[edit]

Description
English: "Judith Showing the Head of Holofernes", illustration of the Apocryphal Book of Judith, Chapter 14, from Gustave Doré's illustrated edition of the Bible.
Date The first edition was 1866. This edition is probably from about that time - may well be a first edition - but in any case is certainly not later than 1900 or so.
Source The Holy Bible: Containing the Old and New Testiments, According to the Authorised Version. With Illustrations by Gustave Doré. (Cassell / Company, Limited: London, Paris & Melbourne)
Author

Gustave Doré (1832-1883)

The "Pannemaker" in the lower right refers to Adolphe François Pannemaker (1822-1900) one of Doré's assistants in turning his art into a full-fledged engraving, and a reasonably notable engraver in his own right.
Other versions

I removed a little bled-through text at the top border (not on the engraving itself) since the paper that would be used to fix it was being cropped. I also rotated it a little..
