EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the early 20th century. This intriguing artwork, created by Patten Wilson and featured in Penroses Pictorial Annual 1903-4, captures an intense moment in time. Set against the backdrop of a walled city, we find ourselves on a bustling street filled with people going about their day. However, this seemingly ordinary scene takes an unexpected turn as a fierce wolf emerges from the shadows. The atmosphere becomes charged with tension as it confronts a lone man armed with nothing but a spear. The image symbolizes the concept of warfare and defense in an urban setting. The man's determined expression reveals his readiness to protect himself and others from this wild threat. As he stands his ground, one can't help but admire his bravery in the face of danger. Wilson's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both the vulnerability of humanity and our innate ability to defend ourselves when necessary. Through this unexpected encounter between man and beast, we are reminded of our primal instincts that still reside within us even amidst modern civilization. This remarkable print serves as both a historical artifact and artistic representation of human resilience throughout different periods in history. It invites viewers to reflect on how encounters like these shape our understanding of warfare and weaponry while also appreciating the craftsmanship behind such publications as Penroses Pictorial Annual.
