EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration, titled "Each Arrow Overshot His Head" is a mesmerizing piece of art that transports us to the realm of myths and legends. Created by Elmer Boyd Smith in 1912, this lithographic print showcases his exceptional talent as an artist. The scene depicted in the image is filled with tension and awe-inspiring moments. A male figure, possibly a king or a warrior, stands tall and imperious amidst a flurry of arrows flying towards him. Each arrow miraculously misses its mark, overshooting his head by mere inches. The protagonist's calm demeanor suggests an immortal being or someone blessed with divine protection. Intriguingly, we are left wondering about the circumstances surrounding this miraculous event. Was it an act of self-defense against an attacking queen? Or perhaps it was a demonstration of power to intimidate enemies? The engraving skillfully captures our imagination and leaves room for interpretation. Smith's attention to detail shines through in every stroke of his pen. From the intricate engravings on each arrowhead to the expressive lines defining the characters' features, he brings life to this mythical world. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork from Ken Welsh's private collection, we can't help but marvel at its beauty and wonderment. It serves as a reminder that even in times of danger or conflict, there may be unseen forces working on our behalf – protecting us from harm's way like each arrow that overshot their target above our hero's head.
