EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Herd of Bison Near Lake Jessie, North Dakota, USA, 1856" transports us back to the vast plains of 19th-century America. Created by renowned artist John Mix Stanley and published by Sarony, Major and Knapp in 1856 as part of the Reports of Explorations and Surveys project, this print captures a remarkable scene from the Pacific Railroad survey. In this vibrant image, we witness a massive herd of bison peacefully grazing near the tranquil shores of Lake Jessie in North Dakota. The open range stretches endlessly before them as they harmoniously coexist with their natural surroundings. The buffalo's majestic presence dominates the landscape; their powerful figures symbolize strength and resilience. Stanley's masterful use of color brings life to every detail – from the rich hues adorning each bison to the serene blues reflecting off Lake Jessie's surface. This lithograph not only showcases an extraordinary moment frozen in time but also serves as a valuable historical document depicting America's untamed wilderness during westward expansion. As we gaze upon this artwork today, let us appreciate its significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It reminds us of our nation's diverse geography and wildlife heritage while honoring those who ventured into uncharted territories for progress and exploration. Through Stanley's artistry and Beverley Tucker’s publication efforts, this print continues to inspire awe for both nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
