Untitled is a 1924 photographic by Unknown, depicting Sus Scrofa, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a photo of a big, chunky sculpture of a pig. It stands on a wooden block, looking like it’s walking forward. The pig’s skin looks rough and textured, with a curly tail and small legs. The photo itself is black and white, with a faded border. The pig’s face has a calm, almost serious expression, and its body is heavy and solid. If you like this pig, check out sus scrofa to learn more about real wild boars.
A black-and-white photograph is mounted on a green card, one of many sent to novelist, art historian, and librarian William Kineton Parkes in the 1920s as part of his survey of sculptors. The image was later included in a collection bequeathed by Parkes to an archive in 1938.
