Beyond Buffalo Hunts




Paintings and photos that I have never seen before. I imagined English women with their umbrellas only on the covers of novels. This book Art of the American Frontier has an image of couple of English ladies watching the Old Faithful.
The writers of the various essays have provide not just the context of the paintings but also about the elements of a painting.
There is a compare and contrast too with the plates of paintings and pictures. Showing the transition of the extreme hunterer to the end of the trail.
The format of essays add meaning to the exquisite pictures and trace the history of the wild as well as its representation as a way for the East to know the West.
