1876 David Hunter Porte Crayon Strother Bumble Bee
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1876, titled "Boys with Bee Stings" we are transported to a moment of childhood mischief and curiosity. The image, created by American artist David Hunter Strother (also known as Porte Crayon), captures the essence of youthful adventure. The scene depicts two boys, one African American and the other wearing a hat, examining a bumble bee sting on one of their hands. Their expressions reveal a mix of pain and fascination as they explore the consequences of their encounter with nature's tiny warrior. Strother's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From the texture of the boys' clothing to the intricate lines that bring life to each strand of hair, his skillful craftsmanship adds depth and realism to this snapshot in time. This print serves as a reminder that childhood experiences can be both painful and transformative. It invites us to reflect on our own memories of discovery and resilience during those formative years when even an encounter with a bumble bee could leave its mark. As we gaze upon this timeless work, we are reminded that art has the power to capture fleeting moments like these – preserving them for generations to come.
