EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins. The central image depicts a graceful goat and its adorable kid, exuding an air of tranquility and natural beauty. Surrounding this centerpiece are several vignettes that offer glimpses into the diverse utility of goats in human life. In a clockwise arrangement from top left, we witness various aspects where goats play a crucial role. From milking them for nutritious milk and cheese to utilizing their skin for crafting tents or army knapsacks, goats prove to be versatile companions. The print also highlights their significance in trade as people purchase gloves and shoes made from goatskin at the glovers shop. Moreover, it sheds light on how goatskin finds application in bookbinding for Morocco bindings while showcasing its value in textiles like shawls through the hair of angora or cashmere goat. Additionally, we catch sight of men relishing goat flesh and cheese in an Alpine district, emphasizing their importance as a source of sustenance. This vibrant lithograph not only celebrates the Victorian era but also encapsulates Britain's rich heritage with its depiction of traditional occupations such as goatherds tending to their flocks. With meticulous attention to detail and vivid colors, Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins brings this 19th-century scene to life alongside Thomas Varty's publishing expertise. "The Goat, c1850" serves as both an aesthetic delight and educational tool by immortalizing the multifaceted relationship between humans and these remarkable creatures through time-honored craftsmanship.
