EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Yarding Warrigals or Wild Horses in Queensland" takes us back to the untamed landscapes of 19th century Australia. Created by French artist Durand Godefroy (1832-1896), this artwork captures a scene of action and movement. In the image, we witness a group of men preparing to yard a mob of wild horses. The horses, known as warrigals, are seen running with great speed and agility across the arid terrain. The artist skillfully portrays their strength and grace as they gallop towards an uncertain fate. The composition is rich in detail, showcasing the vastness of the Australian outback with its dry earth and sparse vegetation. The men appear determined yet cautious as they work together to control these seemingly worthless animals. It is evident that capturing and taming these wild creatures was no easy task. Godefroy's artistic style brings life to this historical moment, allowing us to glimpse into a time when humans sought dominance over nature's wildest inhabitants. This print originally appeared in The Graphic on April 11th, 1896, providing readers with a visual representation of the challenges faced by early settlers in Queensland. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of both the beauty and harshness found within our natural world—a testament to humanity's ongoing struggle for control over untamed forces.
