EDITORS COMMENTS
by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins is a captivating lithograph that transports us back to the 19th century countryside. In this beautifully detailed print, we witness the daily life of a swineherd as he diligently tends to his pigs. The scene depicts a serene moment of respite for the swineherd, who leans on his staff while keeping a watchful eye over his prized animals. His weathered face and sturdy posture reflect years of experience in this noble profession. The artist's skillful use of color brings vibrancy to the pig pen, highlighting each individual hog with an array of shades and tones. Hawkins' illustration was part of "Graphic Illustrations of Animals - Showing Their Utility to Man" where he collaborated with RK Thomas to showcase the importance and value these creatures held in agriculture. This print serves as a testament to their contribution towards sustaining human livelihoods through farming practices. As we gaze upon this artwork from the Oxford Science Archive collection, we are reminded not only of our deep-rooted connection with animals but also how vital occupations like swineherding were during that era. It invites us to appreciate the hard work and dedication required in such professions, which often go unnoticed in today's fast-paced world. This lithograph captures both the beauty and significance found within everyday scenes from history, making it an invaluable piece for any art enthusiast or lover of heritage imagery.
