- Lot Description
Frederic Remington (American, 1861-1909), "A Gander Pull", Harper's Weekly, 1887, "All Off in a Bunch", Harper's Weekly, 1894. Frederic Remington's portrayals of cowboys, Native Americans, and their horses have come to signify the Wild West across the globe. Interestingly, the colored engraving featured here depicts a Southern subject. During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, North Carolinans had a rough and tumble character, and the sport of gander pulling, as well as similar rural pastimes (i.e. horse racing, cockfighting, and "gouging" fist fights) reinforced this image. According to Marilyn Wright, "An old, tough gander (male goose) was hoisted up by his heels with his neck well greased. Each contestant, sufficiently fortified by ample amounts of homemade corn liquor, mounted his horse and galloped by the swinging goose. He reached for the neck and struggled to yank its head from its body." (https://www.ncpedia.org/gander-pulling) Size: 15.5" W x 11" H (39.4 cm x 27.9 cm); 18.75" W x 14.625" H (47.6 cm x 37.1 cm) matted
"All Off in a Bunch "and the other images in Remington’s article for Harper’s Weekly entitled, "Coaching in Chihuahua," refer to the artist’s seminal sojourn to Bavicora ranch in Mexico, near Chihuahua. This trip would also result in his first bronze sculpture entitled, "The Bronco Buster". Remington’s essay humorously reflects upon his last trip by stagecoach, which his describes as pulled by a mule team that was alternatively "alert and full of guile" and a "half-broken team of buckskin broncos."
