EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and satirical print titled "A swell sport on a buffalo hunt" we are transported back to the year 1882, where American artist Thomas Worth takes us on an amusing journey through the Wild West. Published by Currier & Ives, this colour lithograph captures the essence of adventure and humor that characterized the era. The scene depicts a comical caricature of a well-dressed gentleman embarking on a buffalo hunt. Sporting his fashionable glasses and armed with a shotgun, he finds himself perched precariously atop a charging horse as it gallops towards the edge of a cliff. With exaggerated gestures and expressions, our protagonist exclaims in disbelief at the absence of any actual buffalos in sight. Worth's clever satire not only pokes fun at the romanticized notions of hunting expeditions but also highlights society's fascination with wild animals during that time period. The detailed rendering showcases his skillful use of color and composition to create an engaging narrative within this single image. This print is part of the collection held by the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical artifact that offers us insight into America's past while reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously.
