EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Frost-Bound" artist Samuel John Carter transports us back to a wintry scene in the 19th century. The print, now part of a private collection, originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on December 19,1868. The image depicts a dramatic moment during a bloodsport event, where dogs and horses are engaged in hunting amidst the frost-covered landscape. The frozen ground adds an extra layer of challenge and excitement to the already intense pursuit. With every breath visible in the cold air, both animals and humans alike seem determined to conquer nature's icy grip. Carter's attention to detail is evident throughout the composition. Each dog appears alert and focused on its target while displaying their agility and strength against the harsh elements. Meanwhile, powerful horses gallop through snowdrifts with grace and determination. "Frost-Bound" not only captures a thrilling sporting event but also serves as a testament to mankind's resilience when faced with adversity. It reminds us of our deep connection with nature and how we can find beauty even in challenging circumstances. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection invites viewers into an exhilarating world where man's best friends collaborate with noble steeds in pursuit of adventure amid winter's icy embrace.
