EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the wild west during the 1870s, showcasing train passengers on the Kansas Pacific Railroad engaging in an unusual activity - shooting buffalo for sport. The vibrant color lithograph brings to life this thrilling scene from American history. In this image, we see a locomotive chugging along the train tracks against a breathtaking American landscape backdrop. Passengers aboard the train are seen firing their guns at a herd of majestic buffalo, scattering them across the vast plains. The gunfire and excitement fill the air as these adventurous individuals partake in this unique form of entertainment. The photograph not only highlights the locomotion and progress brought by railroads but also sheds light on America's complex relationship with its wildlife during that era. It serves as a reminder of how different our perspectives were towards nature back then compared to today's conservation efforts. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it sparks curiosity about what drove these passengers to engage in such an activity and what impact it had on both human society and wildlife populations at that time. This remarkable piece from Peter Newark Western Americana collection takes us back to an era when untamed landscapes and daring adventures defined America's spirit, making it an invaluable addition to any art enthusiast or history lover's private collection.
