EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving from the 19th century that captures both humor and maritime beauty. This artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases a scene inspired by Thomas Hood's "The Comic Annual" published in 1830. In this delightful illustration, we see a group of pigs dressed in charming summer attire aboard a ship sailing through stormy waters. The pigs are depicted as if they were human passengers enjoying their time at sea. Their comical presence adds a touch of whimsy to the otherwise turbulent setting. The artist skillfully portrays the power and unpredictability of nature with towering waves crashing against the ship's bow. The black and white tones enhance the dramatic atmosphere while emphasizing every detail of this intricate engraving. This artwork not only entertains but also offers insight into early 19th-century costume design and clothing styles. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with animals and our ability to find amusement even in challenging situations. As part of Bridgeman Images' private collection, this print invites viewers to appreciate its historical significance while marveling at its artistic execution.
