A Night on the Divide
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating chromolitho print that transports us to a perilous scene in the wilderness. This stunning artwork, created by William Small and part of a private collection, depicts an intense encounter between man and nature. In this gripping illustration for The Graphic's Christmas Number in 1896, we witness the aftermath of an animal attack. A sharp crack splits through the air as a nightmarish bear lunges towards its prey. The victim, armed with only a rifle, finds himself at the mercy of this formidable creature. The artist masterfully captures the chaos and danger of this moment. We can almost hear the whirp of bullets flying past our ears as shock registers on both faces. It seems that all hope may be lost as one figure lies wrecked on the ground while another has fainted from sheer terror. This artwork serves as a reminder that no matter how prepared or mentally strong we may be, nature can always prove to be an unpredictable force. Inspired by Bret Harte's writings about life on America's western frontier, "A Night on the Divide" explores themes of survival and resilience in face of overwhelming odds. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded to respect and appreciate our natural surroundings – for even in moments like these where physical strength fails us, it is our mental fortitude that will ultimately determine our fate.
