"Breaking In: From Racehorses to Burglars, the Art of Taming and Conquering" In the world of careers, one can find unexpected parallels in various fields. Just like a cowboy trying to break in a wild horse or a racehorse being trained for its first competition, breaking into any profession requires dedication and skill. As depicted in "The career of a racehorse (litho), " we witness the journey from an untamed creature to a graceful athlete. Similarly, a cowboy's struggle with an unruly horse showcases their determination to establish trust and control. However, not all forms are noble. As seen in the "Telephone call warning of burglars (colour litho), " some individuals choose illicit paths by invading others' privacy. Jack and his accomplice Blueskin take this concept further as they brazenly rob Mr Wood and his wife while they sleep peacefully in their bedroom. On the other hand, there are those who tame animals for legitimate purposes. The artistry captured in "Transporting Meat and Taming an Ox, 1839 (colour litho)" highlights how humans have mastered domestication over time. Moving away from reality towards entertainment, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show presents us with posters showcasing bucking broncos that challenge even the most skilled riders. This daring spectacle is further immortalized through engravings such as "Bronco-Buster, " reminding us that conquering these powerful creatures requires courage beyond measure. Not limited to horses alone, society has always had its own set of challenges waiting to be overcome. Portrayed vividly through historical events like the "Fight at Ennis between National Leaguers and Police, " we see how clashes arise when ideologies collide. Artists also capture moments where freedom triumphs over restraint. Paintings like "Turn Him Loose, Bill" depict cowboys releasing their grip on wild horses symbolizing liberation from societal constraints.
