EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, titled "DRUM MAJOR" takes us back to the late 19th century in America. Created in 1876 by David Hunter Strother, also known as Porte Crayon, this print showcases the artistry and attention to detail that defined his work. The image depicts a distinguished drum major leading a vibrant procession. Dressed in an elaborate uniform adorned with intricate details, he stands tall and proud. His hat is adorned with a plume that gracefully sways with each step he takes. A well-groomed beard and mustache frame his determined face, adding to his commanding presence. With one hand holding a wand high above his head and the other grasping onto a majestic drum, this drum major sets the rhythm for all those marching behind him. The precision of their steps can almost be heard through this engraving. Strother's skillful use of lines brings life to every element of this composition - from the texture on the drumhead to the folds in the drum major's uniform. The attention given to these details transports us into an era where parades were grand spectacles filled with patriotic fervor. This remarkable piece captures not only American history but also highlights Strother's talent as an artist. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich heritage and pays homage to those who have led us forward throughout time.
