EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print, titled "Illustration for An Episode of West Woodlands" by William Small, takes us on a thrilling journey into the world of Bret Harte's story. The scene depicted is from Harte's work published in The Graphic's Christmas Number in 1893. In this intense illustration, we witness a dramatic struggle unfolding within the darkened confines of a room. Brother Seabright, the central character, finds himself caught in a fierce battle with an unknown adversary. Arms flail and voices cry out as the fight ensues. The artist skillfully captures the chaos and urgency of the moment. A bright flash illuminates the room as gunpowder ignites, adding to the tension and danger that permeate every inch of this artwork. We can almost feel our own breath catching as we watch these characters grapple with each other. Small's attention to detail is remarkable; every scuffling movement and wasted gesture is vividly portrayed. The figures seem to leap off the page, their actions muffled yet palpable. It is impossible not to be drawn into this gripping narrative. Through this illustration, Small brings Harte's words to life with his masterful use of color and composition. This print serves as both an homage to Harte's storytelling prowess and an artistic achievement in its own right - capturing a single moment that encapsulates all the excitement and suspense found within "An Episode of West Woodlands.
