EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures a breathtaking scene from the early 20th century. In this illustration from "Helpers Without Hands" by Gladys Davidson, published in 1919, we witness the incredible bond between a Bobtail sheepdog and its flock on precarious cliffs. The color litho technique used by John Edwin Noble brings out the vividness of every detail. The image showcases the dog's vital role as it barks to control and guide the herd along the perilous cliff edge. With an air of danger surrounding them, these farm animals rely on their trusted companion for safety. The sheepdog's unwavering dedication is evident as it fearlessly navigates through this treacherous terrain. As we observe this heart-stopping moment frozen in time, one can't help but feel a sense of awe at both nature's beauty and man's ability to harness its power. The pastoral setting with rolling hills adds to the picturesque charm while emphasizing how crucial each element is in maintaining harmony within this ecosystem. The presence of a ram and walking stick further emphasizes that herding requires skillful direction amidst potential risks. This artwork serves as a reminder of our reliance on animals' assistance throughout history and highlights their invaluable contributions without hands. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into art history, allowing us to appreciate not only fine craftsmanship but also celebrate these unsung heroes who have played pivotal roles alongside mankind for centuries.
