EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of Rocky Mountain Sheep in 1860. The colour litho technique used by the English School from the 19th century adds a vibrant touch to this artwork, bringing these animals to life. The Private Collection that holds this piece is fortunate to possess such a remarkable representation of nature's wonders. The image is part of "The Instructive Picture Book: Lessons from the geographical Distribution of Animals, or the Natural History of the Quadrupeds which characterise the principal Divisions of the GlobeA". Published in 1860 by Edmonston & Douglas, this book aimed to educate readers about various species and their habitats. In this particular illustration, we see Ovis montana and Capra montana, commonly known as Rocky Mountain Sheep or goats. These magnificent creatures are native to North America and are characterized by their impressive horns and thick fur. Their presence in mountainous regions makes them perfectly adapted for survival in harsh environments. Through this photograph, we can appreciate not only the artistic skill involved but also gain insight into our natural world. It serves as a reminder of both our fascination with wildlife and our responsibility to protect these precious species for future generations.
