EDITORS COMMENTS
George Baxter's captivating print, "The Dogs of St. Bernard," transports us to the heart of the Alps in the nineteenth century. The scene unfolds at the Great St. Bernard Pass, a treacherous mountain pass in the Swiss-Italian Alps, where a young man and his companions brave the harsh weather to lead a rescue party. The men, bundled up against the cold, are accompanied by powerful St. Bernard dogs, their coats a rich tapestry of colors against the snowy backdrop. Baxter's masterful use of steel engraving, coloured with wooden blocks on paper, brings the image to life with intricate detail. The dogs, with their expressive faces and piercing gaze, seem to leap off the page, their thick fur coats glistening with the sheen of wet snow. The young man, with his determined expression and outstretched hand, commands the attention of the viewer, drawing us into the story of this daring rescue. The print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the discovery of new geographical features and the exploration of unknown territories were the height of adventure. The Dogs of St. Bernard is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the resilience and courage of those who dared to venture into the unknown. This print is a treasure from the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, a world-renowned art museum and cultural center in the United States. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Britain and the enduring appeal of the Victorian era, a time when the world was being explored and documented through the lens of talented artists like George Baxter.
