EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Breeds of sheep" takes us back to the 19th century when animal care and veterinary practices were still in their infancy. The print showcases a variety of sheep breeds, meticulously illustrated by an English School artist. The attention to detail is remarkable as each breed is depicted with precision and accuracy. From the majestic prize cheviot ram to the regal prize dorset horn ram, these engravings highlight the diversity within the world of sheep farming. Originally created as an illustration for W J Miles' book "Modern Practical Farriery" in 1899, this print serves as a valuable historical artifact. It offers insight into how farmers and veterinarians studied different breeds of sheep during that era. The composition exudes elegance and sophistication, showcasing not only the artistic talent behind it but also emphasizing the importance placed on understanding animal husbandry at that time. This lithograph would have been used as a visual aid for those seeking knowledge about various breeds or simply appreciating their beauty. Preserved in a private collection, this piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both its aesthetic qualities and its historical significance. It reminds us of our deep connection with animals throughout history and invites us to reflect on how far we've come in caring for them today.
