Comparisons are Odious, a Contrast in Mounted Troops
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by Frank Craig that takes us back to the early 20th century. This intriguing print showcases the stark differences between two groups of mounted troops, highlighting their contrasting military styles and horse breeds. In this thought-provoking artwork, Craig skillfully captures the essence of comparison and contrast. On one side, we see soldiers from an era long gone, clad in traditional uniforms with intricate details. Their majestic horses exude strength and elegance as they stand tall on parade. In sharp contrast, on the other side of the composition, modern troops appear with streamlined uniforms and sleeker horses that reflect technological advancements. The artist's attention to detail allows us to delve into a world where time stands still for just a moment. The engraving technique enhances every line and texture, adding depth to each soldier's expression and emphasizing their unique characteristics. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection today, it serves as a reminder that comparisons can be both fascinating and odious. It prompts us to ponder how times change while traditions endure; how progress shapes our present while history remains etched in our memories. This lithograph offers not only visual delight but also invites contemplation about evolution within military tactics and aesthetics over time – an artistic testament to humanity's eternal quest for improvement juxtaposed against timeless customs.
