EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two distinct English breeds of pigs from the mid-19th century, namely the Improved Essex and Berkshire hog. The wood engravings beautifully capture the essence of these livestock animals, providing a glimpse into their characteristics and appearances during that era. At the top, we have the majestic Improved Essex pig, exuding an air of elegance with its refined features. This breed was highly regarded for its superior meat quality and ability to thrive in various environments. Its sleek body structure and well-defined muscles are testament to its strength and agility. In contrast, at the bottom of the print stands a robust Berkshire hog, radiating power and vitality. Known for its distinctive black coat with white markings on its face and legs, this breed was favored by farmers for both its flavorful meat as well as efficient grazing habits. These wood engravings not only serve as historical documentation but also celebrate the diversity within English pig breeds. They offer us a window into a time when livestock played an essential role in sustaining communities through agriculture. The Granger Collection has once again curated an exquisite piece that transports us back to mid-19th century England, reminding us of our deep-rooted connection with nature's bounties.
