Attack Broken Buck Call Companionship Kindly Rescues Searches Thornton Wild
EDITORS COMMENTS
Call of the Wild: A Moment of Compassion and Healing in the Wilderness In this poignant moment from Jack London's classic novel, "Call of the Wild," John Thornton (played by Jack London himself in the 1917 silent film adaptation) tenderly tends to the injured Buck, his newly rescued St. Bernard-Scotch Shepherd mix. After being viciously attacked by a group of huskies led by the menacing Hals, Thornton searches for any signs of broken bones with rough but kindly hands. The wilderness of the Yukon Territory serves as their harsh yet beautiful backdrop, a testament to the raw and untamed power of nature. This image, published in 1903, captures the essence of the deep bond that forms between man and dog in London's novel. The historical significance of this moment lies in the way it challenges the traditional roles of man and beast in the wild, as Thornton demonstrates the capacity for compassion and kindness even in the most inhospitable of environments. The image is reminiscent of the companionship and camaraderie that can be found in the pages of classic literature, inviting readers to imagine themselves in the wilderness with Thornton and Buck. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to a simpler era, where the call of the wild still held a powerful allure. The rough texture of the print, the rich tones of the image, and the intricate details of Thornton and Buck's expressions all contribute to a sense of timelessness, making this a truly captivating and enduring piece of historical art.
