EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "St Bernard to the Rescue" showcases a remarkable scene of bravery and triumph. The colour lithograph, created by Sydney Prior Hall in 1887, captures the essence of a snowy winter landscape with its wondrous details. In this heartwarming image, we witness a group of noble St Bernard dogs emerging from a native snow drift. With smoke billowing behind them, they appear triumphant and vindicated as they curate their way through the treacherous Southdowns. Their instinct for rescue is on full display as they bravely navigate towards an unseen cry for help. The dramatic composition features a diverse cast of characters including a rector, his shepherd nephew Conrad, and even Angelina - the curate's wife. Amidst this snowy backdrop stands Uncle Bye, puffing on his cigarette while witnessing this awe-inspiring sight unfold before him. The sheer determination and loyalty exhibited by these magnificent creatures make it clear why St Bernards are often associated with acts of heroism. This scene serves as a testament to their unwavering dedication to saving lives in harsh conditions. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we cannot help but be captivated by the beauty and power captured within it. It transports us to an era where nature's challenges were met head-on with courage and compassion – reminding us that sometimes our greatest allies can come in unexpected forms.
