EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Excelsior" by the English School from the 19th century showcases a mesmerizing scene that transports us to the majestic mountains of Europe. The image depicts a stunning St. Bernard dog bravely navigating through treacherous icy terrain, carrying a walking stick in its mouth. The artwork is an illustration for Longfellow Pictures by Herbert Dicksee, Miss M Dicksee, and J Finnemore, published around 1890. It beautifully captures the essence of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's renowned poem "Excelsior" which tells the story of a young man who embarks on an ambitious journey up a mountain but tragically loses his life along the way. The composition exudes both beauty and melancholy as it portrays nature's unforgiving power against human determination. The snow-covered landscape evokes feelings of isolation and solitude while emphasizing the dog's heroic efforts to save lives in perilous conditions. Through this print, we are reminded of Longfellow's timeless poetry and its ability to touch our souls with its profound messages about ambition, sacrifice, and ultimately finding meaning in life's challenges. As we admire this exquisite piece of literature brought to life through artistry, let us appreciate not only the skillful execution but also reflect on our own aspirations and how they shape our journeys towards self-discovery.
