EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable woodcut from an early book on horse husbandry dating back to 1570. Created by the talented Giovanni Battista Ferraro, this diagram depicts the intricate points for blood-letting on a horse, offering us a glimpse into the ancient veterinary practices of that time. The attention to detail in this woodcut is truly awe-inspiring. Every line and curve has been meticulously carved, bringing life to each blood-letting point illustrated on the horse's body. This visual representation not only serves as a valuable educational tool but also highlights the deep connection between humans and animals throughout history. As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time when books were treasured possessions and knowledge was passed down through generations. The significance of such diagrams cannot be overstated; they provided crucial guidance for those involved in animal husbandry and medical care during an era where horses played a vital role in transportation, agriculture, and warfare. Today, this stunning piece remains part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with wildlife and farm animals while reminding us of the progress made in veterinary medicine over centuries. Let us appreciate both its historical value and artistic beauty captured within these delicate lines etched onto paper so long ago.
