Collar d Pork, July 25,1800 - A Whimsical Depiction of British Culinary Heritage
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-tinted etching by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to the streets of Britain in the early 19th century. The image showcases a comical scene featuring a plump pig wearing an elaborate collar made of pork cuts and sausages. Created in collaboration with Rudolph Ackermann, this artwork captures the essence of British culture and culinary traditions during that time. Rowlandson's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of the pig's facial expression and its amusingly dressed hooves donning fashionable boots. The vibrant colors bring life to this satirical piece, adding a touch of humor to an otherwise ordinary subject matter. The artist cleverly combines elements of fashion and food, highlighting both clothing trends and gastronomic delights popular among Britons at that period. This print serves as a testament to how art can reflect societal customs while offering entertainment through visual storytelling. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this work stands as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage. It invites viewers to appreciate not only Rowlandson's artistic skill but also the historical significance behind everyday subjects like food and fashion. As we gaze upon "Collar d Pork" we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in an era where even pigs could be seen strutting around with style!
