EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 1: Wild Boar and Sow" from "The Breeds of the Domestic Animals of the British Islands, Volume 2" by David Low, published in 1842, presents a captivating lithograph of a wild boar and its sow in their natural habitat. The image, a testament to the artistic prowess of the 19th century, showcases the European wild boar (Sus scrofa) in its raw, untamed beauty. David Low (1786-1859), a renowned Scottish artist, meticulously captured the essence of these even-toed ungulates, which are part of the Artiodactyl order and the Epitheria class. The wild boar is an ancient mammal, with origins dating back to the Miocene epoch, making it a fascinating relic of the past. The male boar, with its impressive tusks and powerful build, dominates the scene, while the sow, with her protective instincts, cradles her young in a nest of leaves and twigs. The image vividly portrays the daytime scene in the British Isles, where these wild animals roamed freely before the advent of agriculture and livestock farming. The lithograph, a product of the 1800s, is a remarkable representation of the wild boar and sow, which were once abundant in the British Isles but have since been hunted to near extinction. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich biodiversity that once existed on these islands and the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations. David Low's masterful illustration is a must-see for anyone with an interest in the natural history of the British Isles, agriculture, or the art of the 19th century. The intricate details and lifelike quality of the image transport the viewer back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the importance of conservation.
