Description
A limited-edition color print on paper by Frank McCarthy titled ‘The Coming of the Iron Horse’. The scene depicts a stampeding herd of American bison moving across a dusty, grassy plain alongside a steam locomotive. The train features a red-toned passenger car and the number 60 on the front boiler plate. The artwork is rendered in a realistic style, emphasizing the movement of the animals and the atmospheric smoke and dust. The piece is housed in a wooden frame with a gold-tone inner lip and is protected by a double mat. A printed signature in the bottom left corner reads McCarthy CA followed by a copyright symbol and the date 1987. A hand-applied signature in brown ink is located in the bottom right corner reading Frank McCarthy. To the right of the signature is a hand-written edition number reading 754/1500.
