EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking lithograph from 1864 captures a dramatic moment in American history as a herd of Buffalo (Bison) stampedes over a precipice to escape an advancing prairie fire. The scene is chaotic and intense, with the massive mammals running in panic as flames lick at their heels.
The artist has expertly captured the raw power and energy of the buffalo as they desperately try to outrun the encroaching fire. The sheer cliffs of the precipice add to the sense of urgency and danger, making it clear that this is a fight for survival.
This image serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by wildlife in the untamed American West during the 19th century. It also speaks to themes of resilience and adaptation, showing how these majestic creatures were able to overcome incredible obstacles in order to survive.
As we look back on this historical moment through the lens of art, we are reminded of our own connection to nature and our responsibility to protect and preserve it for future generations. The beauty and power of these buffalo serve as a testament to the enduring spirit of America's wild places.
