EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Amateur Rabbit Farming" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of rabbit farming. The engraving, created by S. T. Dadd and published in The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News on October 16,1880, showcases various aspects of this unique agricultural practice. In the image, we see a farmer engrossed in a tug of war with his mischievous rabbits who seem determined to defy his authority. Amidst this playful defiance, other rabbits can be observed engaging in different activities such as using a toilet area specially designated for them or enjoying some exercise before settling down for sleep. The rabbits are not alone; they have found companionship with geranium plants that add color and vibrancy to their surroundings. This depiction highlights how these furry creatures bring joy and life to the farmhouse. While some rabbits are caught by the farmer for market purposes or perhaps as pets for fanciers, others find solace in repose after an active day on the farm. A guineapig also makes an appearance among its rabbit friends. Through this enchanting engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection, we get a delightful insight into amateur rabbit farming during that era—where air is filled with both laughter and hard work—a testament to the dedication of farmers who embraced this unconventional yet rewarding endeavor.
