Winter in the Country, Getting Ice
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph print that takes us back to the snowy landscapes of 19th-century America. Created by George Durrie and published by Currier and Ives in New York in 1864, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of rural life during winter. The scene depicts a serene countryside covered in a thick blanket of snow. In the foreground, we see two men with their trusty horses pulling a wooden sled loaded with blocks of ice harvested from a frozen lake. The men are bundled up against the cold, their breath visible in the crisp air. A loyal dog accompanies them on their task, adding an element of companionship to this wintry tableau. Beyond them lies a picturesque mountain range towering over the frozen lake. The tranquility of nature is palpable as everything seems to be still and quiet under the icy grip of winter. Durrie's attention to detail brings this scene to life – from the delicate footprints left behind by both man and beast on the untouched snow to every strand of fur on each horse's coat. This print not only showcases stunning natural beauty but also offers us insight into how people once relied on nature's resources for survival during harsh winters. "Winter in the Country, Getting Ice" is more than just an artwork; it serves as a window into history, reminding us of simpler times when communities worked together amidst challenging conditions.
