"The Veterinary Surgeon: A Journey Through the History of Animal Care" Step back in time to 1888, where The Animals Institute served as a haven for horses, dogs, cats, and more. With its unknown creator, this hospital symbolized the dedication to animal well-being that has stood the test of time. In that same year at The Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester, another unknown creator captured the essence of veterinary care. This snapshot immortalizes a moment when knowledge and compassion merged to heal our beloved companions. Travel further back to 1843 with Charles Emile Jacque's masterpiece "An Animal Hospital. " Here we witness the tireless efforts of veterinarians who have long been committed to alleviating suffering and restoring health. Saint Jerome himself appears as both penitent scholar and compassionate caretaker in "Removing a Thorn from a Lion's Paw. " This portrait by Purdy & Frear circa 1870s pays homage to James Law (1838-1921), an influential figure whose contributions shaped veterinary medicine. James Ward's "Sheep Salving" from 1828 transports us into rural England. In this scene, we witness not only skilled hands but also deep empathy for creatures great and small. Paulus Potter takes us even further back in time with his depiction of "A Farrier's Shop" from 1648. Amidst horseshoes and tools lies evidence of early veterinary practices rooted in craftsmanship and expertise. Fast forward again to July - two moments captured within "The Life of a Racehorse, " showcasing the noble yet challenging life these animals lead. From their strength on display during races to their vulnerability while being tended by caring veterinarians, every aspect is documented with precision. Henry Thomas Alken invites us into the world of horse breeding through his painting titled "The Baron Vills His Wet" from 1838. Here we witness how meticulous attention is paid not only to the horses' physical well-being but also their emotional needs.
