EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BUFFALO SKINNERS, 1874. Slaughtered for the Hide" takes us back to a crucial moment in American history. The wood engraving, created by an unknown American artist in 1874, depicts buffalo skinners on the Great Plains during a time of westward expansion and the flourishing fur trade. In this scene, we witness a group of frontiersmen diligently at work after successfully hunting down a massive buffalo herd. With their skilled hands and sharp tools, they meticulously remove the hides from these majestic creatures that once roamed freely across the vast plains. The image is both haunting and thought-provoking as it captures not only the physical labor involved but also highlights the impact of human progress on wildlife populations. It serves as a reminder of how settlers relied heavily on animal resources for survival and economic gain during this era. As we gaze upon this historic engraving, we are transported to an America where men worked tirelessly to shape their destiny amidst untamed wilderness. We are reminded of the sacrifices made by both humans and animals alike in pursuit of progress. This powerful artwork from The Granger Collection allows us to reflect upon our past while appreciating how far we have come since those frontier days. It stands as a testament to our collective journey towards understanding and preserving nature's delicate balance between man and beast.
