EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting engraving captures a dreadful case of hydrophobia at Saratoga in the 19th century, as a large dog viciously attacks a lady just dressed for dinner. The tension and fear in the scene is palpable, with the woman's elegant attire contrasting sharply with the chaos and violence unfolding around her. The artist has expertly depicted the sheer terror on the woman's face as she tries to defend herself against the ferocious animal. The details in this engraving are so vivid that you can almost hear her screams and feel her desperation. This image serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by rabid animals and how quickly a peaceful evening can turn into a nightmare. It also speaks to broader themes of vulnerability, unpredictability, and our primal instincts when faced with danger. Despite being created over a century ago, this engraving still manages to evoke strong emotions and provoke thought about human-animal interactions. It is a powerful piece that reminds us of our place in nature and the importance of respecting its power.
