EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Four-legged Passengers" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the historical significance of cattle transportation. The image showcases a ship filled with cows, highlighting an intriguing aspect of maritime history that often goes unnoticed. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; each cow is meticulously etched, their features and expressions brought to life by the skilled hand of the English School artist. The composition exudes a sense of order and organization as these four-legged passengers are arranged neatly on board, emphasizing the importance and value placed upon them during this era. As we delve deeper into its context, we discover that this engraving was originally created as an illustration for Chatterbox in 1870. It serves as a visual representation of how livestock played an integral role in trade and commerce at sea during that time. This digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the intricate details even more clearly. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece from their collection, shedding light on lesser-known aspects of history through art. Through this print, we are reminded of our connection with animals throughout time and how they have shaped our world in ways beyond imagination.
