EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Sir W. D. S. Antoine and Auguste or Preparing for a Buffalo Hunt, c. 1837" takes us back to the early 19th century in North America's vast wilderness. The artwork, created by Alfred Jacob Miller, depicts an expedition led by Scottish soldier Sir William Drummond Stewart and trapper Thomas Fitzpatrick. In this scene, we see Auguste holding Stewart's horse while Antoine Clement, the principal hunter and Stewart's trusted companion, prepares for a buffalo hunt. The men are surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Rocky Mountains as they embark on their journey through what is now Wyoming. This painting not only captures the spirit of exploration but also showcases the significant trade between European fur traders and Native Americans during that time period. It offers a glimpse into the lives of pioneers who ventured into uncharted territories in search of adventure and fortune. Miller's use of pen and ink, wash, and gouache on paper brings depth to this historical moment as it combines vivid colors with intricate details. Through his artistry, he transports us to a time when discovery was at its peak and emphasizes the importance of understanding our past. Displayed at Joslyn Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, this remarkable piece serves as a reminder of America's rich geographical heritage while honoring those who paved the way for future generations on their quest for new horizons in the American West.
