EDITORS COMMENTS
Buffalo & Coyotes - 2 (Buffalo assailed by coyotes. Circa 1830) This evocative image captures the raw power and primal instincts of nature as a lone American Bison, or buffalo, is assailed by a pack of coyotes. The scene, believed to have been captured around 1830, offers a glimpse into the past when these magnificent creatures roamed the Great Plains in vast herds. The American Bison, a symbol of the American West and an essential part of the indigenous cultures, once numbered in the millions. However, their numbers dwindled rapidly due to hunting and habitat loss, bringing them to the brink of extinction. In contrast, coyotes, adaptable and resourceful, thrived in the same environment. These canines, known for their intelligence and cunning, were a common sight in the Great Plains, preying on the weak and the young of various herds, including bison. This photograph, a rare and valuable historical record, underscores the delicate balance of nature and the harsh realities of the wild. The image evokes a sense of awe and respect for the natural world, reminding us of the importance of preserving and protecting endangered species. The exact origin of this photograph is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken during the early days of photography, a time when explorers and naturalists documented the American West. The photograph's age and rarity make it a valuable addition to any collection focused on American history, wildlife, or photography.
