EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 19th century at an inn in Newcastle, Carmarthen, Wales. In this image, we witness a Turnspit dog diligently working alongside the bustling kitchen staff. These remarkable short-legged dogs were specifically bred for their unique ability to operate wheels that turned cooking spits. The Turnspit dog breed played a vital role in kitchens during this era, providing endless energy and unwavering dedication to their work. However, by the year 1800, these exceptional canines had nearly vanished from existence. It is truly fascinating to observe how quickly certain breeds can disappear over time. The wood engraving of this photograph was created in 1869 and serves as a testament to the historical significance of these hardworking animals. The intricate details captured within the engraving allow us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the importance placed on such equipment and food preparation methods during that period. As we delve into this image's narrative, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a mere snapshot of a kitchen scene; it symbolizes an era when innovation and resourcefulness were necessary for survival. Let us reflect upon our past and honor those who came before us – both human and animal alike – for their contributions towards shaping our culinary traditions.
