Chester White Hogs - Old Style Breed Illustration | Heritage Livestock #3597547 (License: Personal Use)

This 19th-century woodcut or engraving shows two mature Chester White hogs in profile, exemplifying the “old style” conformation prized before modern breeding refinements: deep bodies, short legs, heavy muscling, and distinctive lop ears. The scene includes a simple wooden shelter, scattered corn cobs, and rough ground, evoking traditional American swine husbandry practices of the mid-1800s. Fine cross-hatching adds texture to the pigs’ hides and environment, emphasizing their size and form.
