EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting print captures a scene from ancient Rome, depicting the devastating impact of cattle plague on a herd of livestock. The image showcases the grim reality faced by farmers as they are forced to slaughter infected animals in order to prevent the spread of disease.
The historical significance of this moment is palpable, offering a glimpse into the challenges faced by agricultural communities in ancient times. The stark contrast between the healthy and stricken cattle serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and livelihoods.
As we reflect on this scene, we are reminded of Virgil's epic poem "Georgics," which delves into the intricacies of farming and agriculture. Published in 29 BC, this literary work offers insights into the practices and struggles faced by farmers during that era.
Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Roman history. The emotions evoked by this image are raw and visceral, serving as a testament to the resilience and fortitude of those who worked tirelessly to protect their herds against insurmountable odds.
In conclusion, this print from Mary Evans Prints Online is not just a visual representation but also a window into an important chapter in agricultural history.
