A Night on the Divide
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and dramatic lithograph that transports us to a scene filled with fear, panic, and anguish. The print, created by William Small after Bret Harte's novel of the same name, captures a pivotal moment in the story. In this intense illustration from 1896, we witness a woman overwhelmed by both mental and physical shock. The composition showcases wild animals lurking in the background as our protagonist confronts her worst fears. A sense of impending danger fills the air as she collapses into unconsciousness. The last sounds she hears are the whirp of a bullet and the sharp crack of a rifle. This artwork not only captivates us with its powerful storytelling but also offers insight into fashion trends of the late 19th century. It was published in The Graphic Christmas Number, making it an iconic piece from that era. Small's skillful use of color adds depth to this gripping scene, emphasizing both darkness and light. As viewers, we can't help but feel drawn into this world filled with anxiety and angst. Overall, "A Night on the Divide" is an exceptional example of how art can evoke strong emotions within us while simultaneously providing historical context through its depiction of fashion trends and literary adaptations.
