Laitiere Bruxelloise (LOC)

    The translation of "Laitière Bruxelloise" is wrong. It should be "A Brussels Milkmaid". Singular.

    Very docile and obliging cows. Try milking an untethered cow - usually, they just walk on leaving you and pail behind.
  • Swordscookie said:
    Excellent photo but I suspect it was a bit staged? As Stu says milking in a field is likely to leave you sitting on your rear as the cow walks off looking for greener grass. It does show a few changes from present day farms though, such as the horns on the cows, you'd never see them today.
  • Wiblick said:
    I think I see a spancel on the back left leg of the cow, hidden by the bucket on the other side, fettering would have made the staging of the photo a bit easier.
  • Stuart said:
    Wiblick Well spotted. Never noticed it before!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Stuart Me either! So thanks to Wiblick for spotting this...
