EDITORS COMMENTS
Killing the Pig, illustration for My Little Farm, published in Sweden, 1904 (colour litho) captures a poignant moment in agricultural life. This print by Carl Larsson depicts a traditional farm scene where the timeless practice of pig slaughter takes place. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this illustration to life, allowing us to witness the delicate balance between nature and human existence on the farm. The artist's skillful brushstrokes convey both the beauty and brutality inherent in such an act. Larsson's work not only showcases the butchery process but also pays homage to the essential role it played in sustaining rural communities during that era. It serves as a reminder of how closely intertwined farming and survival were back then. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a simpler time when self-sufficiency was paramount. We can almost hear the sounds of clinking tools and feel the weight of responsibility that came with providing for one's family. This evocative piece invites contemplation about our modern disconnect from food production processes. It prompts us to reflect on our own relationship with agriculture and appreciate those who continue to dedicate their lives to farming. 'Killing the Pig' is more than just an illustration; it is a window into history—a testament to humanity's enduring connection with land, animals, and sustenance.
