In this catalogue, authors Louise Lippincott and Andreas Blühm trace the changes in human attitudes toward other species, and how those changes were reflected in the visual arts of the 18th and 19th centuries, “when ‘agricultural man’ was becoming ‘industrial man.’” This fascinating book encourages the reader to think about how humans and animals have interacted over time and to reexamine common beliefs and attitudes about animals.
