EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph from the 1900s, we witness a thrilling encounter between man and beast. The scene unfolds with intense energy as "The lion sprang upon Romer" - a courageous figure mounted on his majestic steed. With astonishing speed and power, the ferocious lion delivers a single blow that sends Romer tumbling off his saddle. The artist, Archibald Webb, masterfully captures the raw intensity of this moment. Every stroke of his hand brings to life the tension in the air as both predator and prey clash in an unexpected confrontation. The details are impeccable; from the intricate costumes worn by sailors nearby to every strand of hair on the lion's mane. This print is part of Ernest Nister's publication titled "Masterman Ready" which was popular during its time. It transports us back to an era when adventure stories thrilled readers' imaginations, making them yearn for daring escapades like those depicted here. As we gaze at this artwork, we can't help but feel a rush of adrenaline ourselves. We become immersed in this gripping narrative where danger lurks around every corner. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there are still untamed forces waiting to challenge our courage and resilience. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for us to admire today – an evocative snapshot frozen in time that continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure.
