EDITORS COMMENTS
Life on the Prairie - the Buffalo Hunt, 1862 (colour litho) captures a thrilling moment in American history. The print, created by Currier and Ives, showcases the raw beauty of the American landscape as well as the bravery and skill of its hunters. In this scene, a group of horsemen can be seen galloping across the vast prairie in pursuit of a majestic bison herd. The intensity is palpable as rifles are raised and shots are fired, showcasing their determination to secure sustenance for their communities. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring to life every detail – from the dust kicked up by hooves to the flowing manes of horses. It transports viewers back to a time when survival depended on one's ability to navigate these untamed lands. This artwork serves as a testament to both human resilience and our connection with nature. It reminds us of an era when hunting was not merely sport but rather an essential part of daily life for many Americans. As we gaze upon this print today, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It allows us to reflect on our nation's past while recognizing how far we have come since those days on the prairie.
