EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Transporting Meat and Taming an Ox, 1839" takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. Created by the talented Jean Baptiste Debret, this colour lithograph showcases scenes from his renowned work, Voyage Pittoresque et Historique au Bresil. In this particular image, we are transported to Latin America during the 19th century. The bustling scene depicts the crucial process of transporting meat and taming oxen for agricultural purposes. As we delve into the details of this artwork, we can observe men working diligently to load large cuts of meat onto carts while others skillfully handle oxen with a unique yoke system. The significance of this print lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its historical context. It offers us a glimpse into South American economic history and sheds light on the vital role that animal husbandry played in shaping local economies at that time. Through Debret's masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail, we gain insight into the intricate processes involved in food production and transportation during this era. This image serves as a reminder of our rich agricultural heritage and highlights how these practices have evolved over time. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let it serve as an inspiration to appreciate both artistry and history intertwined within each stroke captured on canvas or lithograph paper.
