Aldin Cecil Character Domesticated Farmyard Peter Pigs Response Running Tame Terrier Terriers Whistle 1927
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming illustration by Cecil Aldin, dated 1927, captures the playful bond between a terrier and a domesticated pig named Peter. In the image, the terrier and Peter, both with ears perked up in attention, run side by side across a lush farmyard. The scene is set in the 1920s, a time when the agricultural industry was thriving, and farm animals were an integral part of rural life. Cecil Aldin (1874-1935) was a renowned English illustrator, known for his humorous and heartwarming depictions of animals and country life. His illustrations often featured animals in human-like situations, highlighting their unique personalities and the connection between them and their human counterparts. In this illustration, the terrier and Peter respond to a whistle, their ears turning towards the source of the sound. The terrier, with its alert and curious expression, seems to be leading the way, while Peter, with his determined look, keeps up with his canine friend. The image evokes a sense of joy and nostalgia for a simpler time, when animals were an essential part of daily life on the farm. This illustration is not only a beautiful work of art but also a glimpse into the history of rural life in the 1920s. It is a reminder of the unique bond between animals and their human companions and the simple pleasures of country living.
