介绍（中）	这幅版画再现了丹尼尔·麦克利斯（Daniel Maclise，1847-53 年，利兹市美术馆）的一幅大型画作。挪亚站在祭坛上的羔羊旁边，陪伴他的是家庭成员和其他准备献祭的动物。在背景中，方舟停在亚拉腊山上，动物从敞开的门中出现，一道彩虹在天堂附近的场景中拱起。诺亚的"献祭赞美诗"印在下面。在创作这幅画时，麦克利斯受委托在威斯敏斯特新宫制作两幅大型壁画，专门介绍英国在拿破仑战争中的胜利，与这种媒介不适合潮湿的英国气候有关的技术困难占据了他的大部分时间。"诺亚的牺牲"作为布面油画，允许艺术家自由工作，并通过多人物构图展示他的技巧。切尔特南的木版画于 1849 年 12 月发表在《伦敦新闻画报》上，当时麦克利斯仍在工作，这可能解释了示意图的背景。
介绍（英）	This print reproduces a large painting by Daniel Maclise (1847-53, Leeds City Art Gallery). Noah stands at center next to a lamb on an altar, accompanied by family members and additional animals intended for sacrifice. In the background, the Ark rests on Mount Ararat as animals emerge from its open door, and a rainbow arches over the scene near heavenly beings. Noah's "Sacrificial Hymn" is printed below. While working on this painting, Maclise was commissioned to produce two large frescoes at the new Palace of Westminster devoted to British victories in the Napoleonic wars, and technical difficulties related to the unsuitability of that medium to the damp English climate occupied much of his time. "Noah's Sacrifice," as an oil on canvas, allowed the artist to work freely and demonstrate his skill with multi-figured compositions. Cheltnam's wood engraving was published in the "Illustrated London News" in December 1849, while Maclise was still at work, which may explain the schematic background.
