EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the 1880s, a time when white hunters engaged in the controversial practice of shooting bison for sport on the vast western plains of America. The image depicts a scene that showcases both the heritage and historic significance of traditional hunting during this era. In this illustration, we witness American hunters mounted on horseback, armed with pistols and rifles, engaging in an intense pursuit of buffalo. Their vintage attire reflects the recreation and excitement associated with big game hunting in the 19th century. As they gallop across the prairie, their aim is clear: to kill these majestic creatures. However, beyond its artistic appeal lies a deeper narrative - one that speaks to North America's history and ecological impact. The relentless hunt for bison ultimately led to their near extinction by the end of this century. This image serves as a reminder of how human actions can push endangered species towards oblivion. As we gaze upon this piece of art from North Wind Picture Archives, it is essential to reflect upon our relationship with nature and consider how our understanding has evolved since those days on the Great Plains.
