EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the Georgian era transports us to a dairy farm in 1831 England. The scene depicts an obese veterinarian diligently examining a sickly cow, while the farmer and millmaid anxiously observe. This satirical drawing by Thomas Rowlandson offers a glimpse into the customs and realities of society during this time. The hand-colored wood engraving, taken from W. H. Harrison's "The Humourist" portrays the humorous yet thought-provoking nature of everyday life in the 19th century countryside. With great attention to detail, Rowlandson captures not only the characters but also their surroundings – showcasing elements such as agriculture, population diversity, and professional roles. In this image, we witness both the challenges faced by farmers and veterinarians alike when it comes to animal health. The overweight vet symbolizes societal attitudes towards obesity at that time while highlighting his dedication to his profession despite physical limitations. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we are reminded of how medicine and veterinary practices have evolved over time. This print serves as a testament to our continuous quest for knowledge and improvement in caring for animals' well-being. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry from the past – allowing us to reflect on our shared history while appreciating its artistic value today.
