EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Chinese pig farm, Shanghai, 1959" captures a moment in time that reflects the essence of prosperity and happiness. Taken by an anonymous Chinese photographer from the 20th century, this image showcases a smiling female farmer amidst a bustling pig farm in Shanghai. The scene exudes the spirit of Asian agricultural abundance as pigs roam freely while being fed by diligent farmers. The composition highlights the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals in farming practices. It also offers a glimpse into China's rich history of agriculture and its significance to their culture. This photograph holds historical importance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It serves as evidence of communist propaganda prevalent during that era when portraying successful agricultural practices was crucial for promoting national pride and unity. The farmhouse setting adds warmth to the image, evoking feelings of comfort and contentment associated with sharing meals together after hard work on the farm. The dining experience depicted here represents not only sustenance but also communal bonding among farmers who relied on each other for collective success. Preserved within this timeless print is an intimate snapshot capturing both cultural heritage and human resilience through agriculture. Its inclusion in private collections like Peter Newark Historical Pictures ensures that this piece remains accessible for generations to come, allowing us to appreciate China's rich farming traditions captured through photography.
