EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1868, titled "PLOWING, 1868. The Western prairie farmer running the fire-guard" we are transported to the vast and untamed American frontier. The scene depicts a hardworking farmer diligently tending to his land with a horse-drawn plow while his loyal dog keeps watch by his side. The image captures the essence of rural life in America during that era, showcasing the tireless efforts of these early pioneers as they worked tirelessly to cultivate their farms on the great plains. The farmer's determination is evident as he navigates through the field, creating neat furrows for planting crops. Notably, there is also a sense of caution portrayed in this print. As indicated by the title, "running the fire-guard" it suggests that wildfires were a constant threat on these open prairies. It highlights how farmers had to be ever-vigilant in protecting their livelihoods from such natural disasters. The attention to detail in this wood engraving is remarkable; every line etched into the medium brings forth an authentic depiction of farming life during this pivotal time in American history. From the rustic farm tools and worn fence surrounding them to the idyllic countryside backdrop, it serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. This Granger Collection artwork offers viewers a glimpse into our nation's agricultural roots and pays homage to those who played vital roles in shaping America's heartland.
