EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this fascinating engraving depicting Colvin's hydraulic milking machine from the 19th century. The innovative design featured corrugated rubber suction cups placed over the teats of cows, mimicking the motion of a calf sucking and creating a partial vacuum to draw off milk into churns set in the floor.
In this detailed illustration, we see a cow being released from its stall after being milked, with the suction cups removed and swung out of the way towards the churn. The intricate machinery and process involved in milking are captured beautifully in this historical print.
The image transports us to a bygone era of agriculture and dairy farming, showcasing the advancements made in technology to streamline milk production. From churning to cattle management, every aspect of milking is depicted with precision and care.
This engraving serves as a reminder of how far we've come in terms of agricultural innovation while also highlighting the timeless connection between humans and animals on the farm.
