Le porc 'victim de noel'. Cover in 'L Eclipse' by Gill, December 26,1875, Paris
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the somber reality of a pig's fate during the holiday season. The image is featured on the cover of "L Eclipse" a renowned journal from December 26,1875, in Paris. The artist behind this powerful engraving is Andre Gill (1840-85), whose work often delved into social commentary. In this particular piece, he sheds light on the dark underbelly of Christmas traditions - the slaughterhouses that supply meat for festive feasts. The scene depicted here is raw and gritty. It transports us to an abattoir where pigs meet their unfortunate end. The dirt and grime are palpable as we witness these innocent animals becoming victims of our seasonal indulgence. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures every detail with his camera lens, immortalizing Gill's thought-provoking artwork. This photograph serves as a reminder that behind every succulent ham or crispy bacon strip lies a story untold – one filled with sacrifice and suffering. As we gaze upon this print, let us reflect on our own choices as consumers and consider the ethical implications of our food sources. Perhaps it will inspire us to seek more sustainable alternatives or advocate for animal welfare. Through art like this, we are confronted with uncomfortable truths that challenge societal norms – urging us to question our actions and strive for change.
