EDITORS COMMENTS
WOLVES ATTACKING: A Glimpse into the Perils of Frontier Life in 19th Century Illinois". This wood engraving from the 19th century, titled "Wolves Attacking" offers a haunting portrayal of the harsh realities faced by back-settlers in Illinois during westward expansion. The image depicts a courageous family defending their humble settlement against a ferocious wolf pack. In this scene, we witness the resilience and determination of American frontiersmen as they valiantly protect their loved ones and property. Armed with nothing but sticks and fueled by sheer desperation, the settlers stand united against nature's relentless assault. The composition captures both chaos and bravery as the wolves relentlessly pounce on their prey while an intrepid defender fights back with all his might. Flames dance ominously nearby, symbolizing not only warmth but also danger lurking at every corner in this untamed wilderness. This wood engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who ventured into uncharted territories to forge new lives for themselves and future generations. It encapsulates both the beauty and brutality inherent in America's wild west during its formative years. As we gaze upon this historical artifact provided by The Granger Collection, New York, let us reflect on our ancestors' courage in facing adversity head-on. May it inspire us to appreciate our own journey through life's challenges while honoring those who paved our way towards progress.
