EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "One Stephenson. . . swore at him, and bade him stand up and fight like a man" takes us back in time to the adventurous era of West Africa. The vibrant color lithograph, created by Arthur David McCormick, depicts a dramatic scene from John Lang's book "The Land of the Golden Trade". In this illustration, we witness an intense confrontation between two men on the Guinea Coast. One can almost feel the tension in the air as Stephenson passionately swears at his opponent, urging him to rise and face him like a true warrior. The wounded man stands tall despite his injuries, showcasing bravery and resilience. The image not only captures the historical context of West Africa but also highlights elements of European influence during that period. With references to Germany scattered throughout - such as Baden and German culture - it offers insight into colonial dynamics prevalent in those times. Moreover, this artwork invites contemplation about medicine and healthcare practices during that era. The mention of Asklepios (Asclepius), the Greek god associated with healing, suggests a connection to medical science and services available at that time. Overall, this print is more than just an artistic representation; it serves as a visual portal into history filled with adventure, pirates, cultural exchange, wounds both physical and emotional – all within one frame captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder.
