1781 1849 Lean Legs Side Tank Thrown Out Unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of raw strength and primal instinct. Two men, their faces etched with determination, lift a slaughtered pig off its legs. The weight of the animal seems almost palpable as they strain against gravity's pull. The men lean over an elongated tray standing on its side, creating a makeshift platform for their task. It is evident that this pig has been discarded or thrown out of some sort of tank, perhaps after being prepared for consumption. Its lifeless body lies before us, serving as a reminder of the cycle of life and death that sustains us all. The artist behind this powerful etching remains unknown; however, it was created by David Pierre Giottino Humbert de Superville between 1781 and 1849. Through his skillful use of paper and etching techniques, he captures the intensity and physicality involved in such laborious work. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but reflect on our own connection to nature's bounty and our reliance on animals for sustenance throughout history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that every piece of meat we consume has undergone a process like this one – where lives are taken so that others may be nourished
