Harper's October,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating lithograph by Edward Penfield, published by Harper Publications in New York between 1890 and 1907, transports us back in time to the 19th and early 20th centuries. This evocative image showcases a lone figure, dressed in black and grey apparel, mounted on horseback against a backdrop of an autumnal landscape. The man, with a rifle slung over his shoulder and a hat perched atop his head, gazes intently into the distance, perhaps in search of game. The rich, dark colors and intricate details of the lithograph are a testament to Penfield's masterful use of the lithotint technique. The horse, with its reins held taut and stirrups at the ready, seems poised to move forward, adding to the sense of anticipation and adventure. The rider's clothing, from the high collar of his coat to the sturdy boots and riding equipment, is both functional and fashionable, reflecting the practicality and style of the era. The muted colors and long shadows cast by the setting sun add to the sense of quiet, contemplative beauty of the scene. The image, which was likely used as a poster or illustration in Harper's Magazine or other publications, is now a cherished piece of heritage art, preserving the spirit of a bygone era and the enduring appeal of the great outdoors. This timeless work, held in the New York Public Library's vast collection, continues to inspire and delight viewers more than a century after it was first created.
