EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a Bewick Turnspit, a specific breed of domestic animal that once held an essential role in the kitchens of the past. Dating back to the late 18th century, around 1790, this breed was classified by the renowned naturalist, Thomas Bewick, in his publication "A History of Quadrupeds." The Turnspit was destined to spend its entire working life in the kitchen, assisting with the preparation and cooking of meals before the advent of modern culinary technology. The Turnspit was a small, agile dog, with a long, curved spine and a short, thick coat. Its most distinctive feature was its long, curved tail, which was used to turn a spit over an open fire. The animal would be tethered to the spit, and its constant tail movements would keep the meat rotating, ensuring it cooked evenly. This laborious task required the Turnspit to work tirelessly for hours on end, making it an invaluable asset in the kitchen. Fortunately, the arrival of modern culinary technology, such as the rotisserie and the electric spit, has made the Turnspit breed redundant. While this may be a cause for celebration in terms of animal welfare, it is also a reminder of the rich history and unique traditions that once defined our culinary practices. The Turnspit serves as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our ancestors, who found ways to make the most of the resources available to them in order to prepare and enjoy their food. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Turnspit was an integral part of the kitchen scene. Its historical significance, combined with its charming and quirky appearance, makes it a must-have for anyone with an interest in the history of food and cooking.
