EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The little cockle dipped into the swell and staggered under every gust of wind" transports us back to 1916. Created by renowned American artist Newell Convers Wyeth, this print captures a scene from his illustrations for "The Black Arrow" a novel published by Schribners in the same year. In this dramatic depiction, we find ourselves amidst the turbulent waters of England's sea during the War of the Roses. A small boat, referred to as a cockle, battles against powerful waves while being buffeted by strong gusts of wind. The archers on board are dressed in elaborate costumes that evoke an era long past. Wyeth's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The roughness and intensity with which he renders each element - from the arrows held tightly by soldiers to the expressions on their faces - convey both danger and determination. "The little cockle dipped into the swell and staggered under every gust of wind" serves as a visual reminder of adventure, conflict, and bravery. It encapsulates not only Wyeth's artistic prowess but also his ability to transport viewers into historical narratives through his work. This striking print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public appreciation thanks to Bridgeman Images' efforts in preserving and sharing significant works like this one.
