EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century artwork, titled "Berkshire Breed" showcases the elegance and beauty of a domestic pig (Sus domesticus). The print is part of the renowned collection "The Breeds of the Domestic Animals of the British Islands" by David Low, published in 1842. In this lithograph, we are presented with a side view profile of a magnificent Berkshire breed pig. Its muscular build and distinct features are meticulously captured, revealing both its strength and docile nature. This illustration serves as a testament to the significance of pigs in agriculture during that era. The artist's attention to detail brings out every contour and texture on this marvelous creature. From its expressive eyes to its perfectly shaped snout, one can almost feel the warmth emanating from this gentle mammal through the print. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, it takes us back to an era when farming played an essential role in society's sustenance. It reminds us that these animals were not just livestock but integral members of our communities. Displayed proudly by London's Natural History Museum, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into both natural history and artistry intertwined. It invites us to appreciate not only the biological diversity found within our world but also highlights humanity's deep connection with nature throughout time.
