EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures a unique piece of historical kitchen equipment from the 19th century - a turnspit operated by a dog. In this image, we see a small canine diligently running inside a wheel mechanism that rotates above an open fire, helping to cook food evenly. This ingenious invention was commonly used in kitchens before the advent of modern technology and automation.
The turnspit dog played an important role in early kitchens, as they were trained to work for hours on end, ensuring that meat was cooked thoroughly and evenly over the flames. These hardworking animals were essential members of the kitchen staff in households across Europe during this time period.
This image serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our ancestors when it came to solving everyday problems. It also sheds light on the often-overlooked contributions of animals in human history.
As we marvel at this snapshot from the past, let us take a moment to appreciate the dedication and hard work of both humans and animals who labored together to create delicious meals for their families. The turnspit dog may be long gone from our modern kitchens, but its legacy lives on in stories like these captured by Mary Evans Prints Online.
