EDITORS COMMENTS
The Perils of Sketching, 1870: This engraving from 1870 captures the intense moment when a sketcher in Switzerland finds himself face to face with a charging bull. The detailed landscape scene sets the stage for this dramatic encounter, as the Swissman bravely attempts to capture the beauty of his surroundings despite the imminent danger.
The tension between man and beast is palpable in this striking image, with the bull's powerful stance contrasting sharply with the sketcher's vulnerable position. The rustic cabin in the background serves as a reminder of civilization amidst nature's wildness, adding an additional layer of depth to this scene.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time when artists risked life and limb in pursuit of their craft. The engraver has expertly captured both the fear and determination etched on the sketcher's face, making us feel as though we are right there beside him in that perilous moment.
This print serves as a timeless reminder of the risks that artists have taken throughout history to bring us closer to our world through their creations. It is a testament to both human courage and artistic passion, encapsulated within one captivating image from 1870.
