EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Bad Lands of the Little Missouri" transports us back to the untamed landscapes of 19th-century United States. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases the rugged beauty and unique topography of the Little Missouri region. As we gaze upon this print, we are immediately struck by the dramatic geological formations that dominate the scene. The "Bad Lands" as they were famously known, stretch out before us in all their awe-inspiring glory. Jagged cliffs and deep canyons create a mesmerizing maze of earthy hues – from rich ochres to deep siennas – painting a vivid picture of nature's raw power. It is easy to imagine oneself standing on one of these precipices, taking in the vastness and grandeur that surrounds them. The sheer scale and desolate beauty evoke both a sense of wonderment and isolation simultaneously. This particular engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on February 2nd, 1884. Its inclusion in this esteemed publication speaks volumes about its significance as a visual representation of America's wild frontier during that era. Now preserved within a private collection, this historical artwork allows us to glimpse into a time long past while reminding us of nature's ability to shape our world with breathtaking artistry.
