EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Fat Cattle, pub. 1802" takes us back to the early 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of husbandry during the agricultural revolution. Created by renowned artist James Gillray, this print showcases Francis Russell, the 5th Duke of Bedford, alongside an enormous prize animal. The sheer size of these cattle is awe-inspiring as they graze in a picturesque farm setting surrounded by haystacks and turnips. The exaggerated proportions highlight both their excessive breeding and the pioneering efforts made in farming during this era. Gillray's satirical touch is evident through his caricature-like portrayal of not only the cattle but also other farm animals such as geese, pigs, sheep, and even a ram. This whimsical approach adds humor to what would otherwise be a straightforward portrait. Furthermore, this artwork sheds light on the aristocracy's involvement in agriculture at that time. It symbolizes how farming became intertwined with social status for many members of high society. As we delve into this historical piece from our private collection, it becomes clear that "Fat Cattle" serves as more than just an artistic representation; it encapsulates an entire era marked by innovation and progress in farming techniques. Through its intricate details and playful imagery, this engraving invites us to reflect on our own relationship with nature and how far we have come since those pioneering days.
