A Prairie Fire
DESCRIPTION
This is an original lithograph print made from a drawing by American landscape artist, Julian Rix, in 1886. The scene depicts a massive prairie fire featuring deer trying to escape the flames. The ominous, smokey sky creates a chaotic atmosphere. In the foreground the viewer can see lovely prairie flowers, a stark contrast to the danger that looms.
Harper's Weekly: Harper's Magazine was a weekly magazine which debuted in June of 1850. Although the earliest issues consisted largely of material that had already been published in England, the magazine soon began to print the work of American artists and writers - among them Horatio Alger, Stephen A. Douglas, Theodore Dreiser, Horace Greeley, Winslow Homer, Jack London, John Muir, Frederick Remmington, and Mark Twain.
