EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from 1914, Hungry Peter the pig contemplates his figure in the mirror, deep in thought. The anthropomorphic pig, with his expressive face and human-like posture, gazes intently at his reflection, likely pondering the need to put on some weight. The full-length mirror, an unusual accessory for a barnyard animal, adds to the whimsical and humanized quality of the scene. The setting is simple yet charming: Peter sits on a wooden bench, his reflection casting a soft glow on the barn walls behind him. A stack of books lies nearby, suggesting that perhaps Peter has been inspired by tales of plump pigs or perhaps he is simply seeking advice from the literary world. This photograph, with its historical significance and delightful anthropomorphism, offers a glimpse into a bygone era when animals were often personified and anthropomorphized in art and literature. The playful depiction of Hungry Peter, with his thoughtful expression and introspective pose, invites us to consider the universal human experience of self-reflection and the desire for self-improvement, even in the most unexpected of characters. This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a wonderful addition to any collection of historical animal photographs or whimsical art. Its timeless appeal and charming narrative make it a delight to behold, transporting us to a simpler time when animals could be both farm animals and beloved characters in one.
