EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating artwork titled "Driving Herds of Buffalo over a Precipice" by Alfred Jacob Miller takes us back to the rugged landscapes of 19th century North America. This stunning print, created using pencil, pen and ink, and watercolor on paper, captures a momentous event in American history. In this scene, we witness the collaboration between Miller, Sir William Drummond Stewart, and Thomas Fitzpatrick as they traverse the Oregon Trail through old Nebraska Territory. They journeyed alongside native cultures and encountered vast herds of bison that roamed freely across the land. Miller's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life. The painting showcases an expansive landscape with rocky mountains in the background while horseback riders skillfully drive herds of buffalo towards a precipice. The intensity is palpable as both man and beast are engaged in an exhilarating hunt. This artwork not only celebrates the beauty of nature but also pays homage to the spirit of exploration that defined early America. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich geographical heritage and highlights the important role played by individuals like Miller who documented these expeditions through their art. Displayed at Joslyn Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, "Driving Herds of Buffalo over a Precipice" continues to captivate viewers with its vibrant colors and dynamic composition. It stands as a testament to our shared history and reminds us of the remarkable journeys undertaken by those who paved the way for future generations in this great land called America.
