EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back in time to the Frontier Days of America. The illustration, taken from "The City of Cleveland" by Edmund Kirke and published in Harpers Magazine in 1886, depicts a scene filled with adventure and resilience. Amidst a harsh winter blizzard, we witness the brave pioneers and settlers making their way through the treacherous snow-covered landscape. Clad in heavy coats and fur hats, they ride on horseback with determination etched on their faces. Their journey is not for the faint-hearted; it requires unwavering strength and perseverance. As we delve deeper into the image, our attention is drawn to a Native American Indian riding alongside these intrepid explorers. This inclusion highlights the diverse cultures that coexisted during this period of history. The artist Howard Pyle skillfully captures both the beauty and brutality of nature's elements within this lithograph from his Brandywine School collection. The swirling snowflakes create an atmosphere of danger while also showcasing Mother Nature's awe-inspiring power. This evocative print serves as a reminder of those who paved the way for future generations by venturing into uncharted territories. It pays homage to figures like Daniel Boone - legendary frontiersmen who fearlessly pushed boundaries despite facing extreme conditions. Through its intricate details and historical significance, this artwork transports us back to an era where survival was paramount but dreams were limitless.
