EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Old Jake, leaping astride the bear, drove his sharp knife home" by William Henry Charles Groome depicts a thrilling moment of adventure and bravery. The vibrant color lithograph showcases Old Jake fearlessly leaping onto the back of a massive bear, armed with a sharp knife ready to strike. The intensity and excitement in this scene are palpable as we witness the wilds of North America come alive. The artwork is an illustration for Achilles Daunt's book "In the land of the moose, the bear and the beaver" published around 1910. It transports us to a time when wilderness exploration was at its peak, capturing both Canadian and American spirit in one frame. This image represents not only an act of courage but also pays homage to the untamed beauty found within nature. Groome's attention to detail brings every element to life - from Old Jake's determined expression to the majestic presence of the bear itself. The composition evokes a sense of awe and wonderment as we imagine ourselves witnessing this incredible feat firsthand. As viewers, we are reminded that there are still uncharted territories waiting for us to explore within our own Western Hemisphere. This artwork serves as an inspiration for adventurers seeking new experiences in North America while honoring those who have come before us in their pursuit of discovery.
