EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from ca. 1850 depicts a scene of farmers carrying dead cattle along the riverbank, showcasing the harsh realities of life in 19th century Europe. The detailed image, measuring 12.0x17.2 cm, was created by Blasius Hofel (1792-1863) after Leander Russ (1809-1864), with inscriptions 'Leand:russ:del.' and 'Bl. Hofel. sc.' visible on the print.
The somber atmosphere is palpable as we see the farmers dressed in traditional costumes and turbans, solemnly transporting the deceased animals across the landscape. The black and white composition adds to the sense of melancholy and hardship faced by these individuals who rely on farming for their livelihood.
The engraving not only captures a moment in history but also serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by those working in agriculture during this time period. It highlights themes of death, labor, and resilience while offering a glimpse into daily life in rural Austria.
Overall, this powerful image evokes emotions of empathy and reflection as we witness these farmers fulfilling their duties despite facing adversity. It is a testament to both the resilience of humanity and the importance of acknowledging our shared history through art like this engraving from ca. 1850.
