EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by the English School from the 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness a heartwarming scene of ancient Rome. The print depicts Honorius, son of Emperor Theodosius, tenderly feeding his favorite hen named "Rome". The image showcases an intimate bond between man and animal as Honorius lovingly offers sustenance to his feathered companion. This charming illustration was originally created for Chatterbox magazine in 1892 and is now part of a private collection. The artist skillfully captures the essence of farm life during this era, highlighting the significance of poultry as essential livestock. The hen symbolizes not only a source of nourishment but also companionship for young Honorius amidst the grandeur and responsibilities that come with being part of an imperial family. Through this enchanting artwork, we catch a glimpse into history where animals played integral roles in everyday life. It serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, humans found solace and joy through their connection with nature's creatures. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both artistry and historical context while celebrating the timeless bond between humans and animals across generations.
