EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored halftone print takes us back to the 1890s, offering a glimpse into the untamed beauty of Yellowstone National Park. In this historic image, US Cavalry officers are seen on skis, patrolling and inspecting the vast wilderness that stretches across Wyoming and Montana. The artwork, created by renowned artist Frederic Remington, showcases his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of the American West. Against a backdrop of snow-covered mountains in the Rocky Mountain range, these brave guards stand as symbols of tradition and heritage. Clad in their military uniforms, they navigate through thick forests with skill and determination. Their presence serves as a reminder of how crucial it was to protect this wild frontier during an era when nature's wonders were still being discovered. Yellowstone National Park itself is depicted here as a winter wonderland; its serene landscapes blanketed in pristine white snow. This visual masterpiece transports us to a time when North America's natural treasures were just beginning to be appreciated for their ecological importance. As we observe this vintage illustration from over a century ago, we can't help but feel awe-inspired by those who dedicated themselves to safeguarding our nation's most precious lands. It serves as both an homage to history and an invitation for future generations to cherish and preserve these remarkable places for years to come.
