EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 4 from The Breeds of the Domestic Animals of the British Islands, Volume 2, published in 1842, features an exquisite illustration of a Sus scrofa domesticus, commonly known as the Berkshire breed of pig. The image, captured by the skilled hand of renowned British artist and illustrator, David Low (1786-1859), showcases the distinctive features of this ancient and esteemed breed. Berkshire pigs, native to England, have long been celebrated for their exceptional quality and desirable traits. This illustration captures a mature boar in daytime hours, standing proudly against a simple backdrop, allowing his distinct characteristics to take center stage. The Berkshire hog is easily identified by its deep, glossy coat that ranges from a rich, dark color to a lighter, speckled hue. Its body is well-proportioned, with a deep, muscular frame and a broad, powerful build. David Low, a master of his craft, expertly captured the essence of this breed in his illustration. Low's work, which spanned from 1781 to 1844, was instrumental in documenting the various breeds of domestic animals in Great Britain during the 19th century. This plate, in particular, serves as a testament to the importance of breeding and agriculture in England during that era. The Berkshire breed, belonging to the even-toed ungulate family, Artiodactyla, and the order Artiodactyl, is a suborder of Eutheria, or placental mammals. This pig breed, like many others, has played a significant role in the agricultural landscape of Europe and beyond, contributing to the development of the pork industry and the culinary arts. This image, a window into the past, offers a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of the Berkshire breed, showcasing the beauty and importance of this remarkable animal in the annals of farming and agriculture.
