The Portage Sleigh on a Lumber Road, for "Antoine's Moose-Yard," for "Harper's New Monthly Magazine," October 1890 1890

This is a woodblock printing, or woodcut, by Frederic Remington, an American artist known for his depictions of the American West. This particular work, “The Portage Sleigh on a Lumber Road,” was created for “Harper’s New Monthly Magazine” in 1890 and depicts a horse-drawn sleigh traversing a snow-covered road, likely in the American West. The work is a great example of Remington’s ability to capture the movement and energy of his subjects, and the snow-covered landscape reflects the harsh beauty of the American West. This is a small-scale woodblock (7.9 x 12.1 x 2.2 cm) and is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
