EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured between 1887 and 1892 by renowned American photographer John C.H. Grabill, presents a striking image of the American frontier during the late 19th century. Three courageous cowboys, dressed in their traditional attire, expertly maneuver their horses on the vast Great Plains of South Dakota, United States of America. Their focus is entirely on the magnificent buffalo before them, its powerful form a testament to the untamed wilderness that once dominated the continent. With skill and determination, the cowboys deftly throw their lassos, roping the bison in a display of raw strength and skill. This meeting of the frontiers - the wild animal and the settlers - was a common occurrence during the era of ranching and farming in the American West. The image captures the essence of the cowboy occupation, a profession that was both simple and complex, requiring a deep understanding of the land and its wildlife, as well as a strong sense of community and camaraderie. John C.H. Grabill, a European immigrant, brought his unique perspective and artistic sensibilities to documenting the American West. His photograph, now held in the prestigious Library of Congress, serves as a powerful reminder of the rich heritage and history of the United States, a time when the country was still in the process of being settled and tamed.
