EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of farm life in the 19th century. The focal point of the image is a magnificent Leicester Sow, proudly standing at two years old. Owned by Samuel Wiley, this sow exudes strength and vitality as it poses for the artist's rendering. The details in this print are remarkable; every fold of fat on the sow's body is meticulously depicted, showcasing its robustness. Surrounding the sow are various elements that complete the farmyard scene - a chicken pecking around naively, a duck waddling nearby, and a cockerel strutting with confidence. The engraving technique used by William Henry Davis brings out an incredible level of texture and depth to each element in this composition. It truly transports us back to a simpler time when agriculture was at the heart of society. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also gain insight into historical farming practices. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and how animals played an integral role in sustaining human life. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply fascinated by rural life, this lithograph offers a glimpse into both worlds – capturing beauty within simplicity while preserving history through fine art.
