EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored engraving on steel, titled "Sheep and Goats," is a stunning example of the intricate detail and artistry found in the works of Comte de Buffon. Created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, this image is part of Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon, published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. The engraving showcases both male and female sheep, or Ovis aries, and goats, or Capra aegagrus hircus, in their natural habitat. In the foreground, a ewe, or female sheep, stands with her lamb at her side, while a ram, or male sheep, looks on protectively. In the background, a goat grazes peacefully, its agile form and distinctive features on full display. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving is truly remarkable, with each animal's coat, horns, and facial features rendered in stunning detail. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of beauty and depth, bringing the scene to life and making it a true work of art. Comte de Buffon, a renowned naturalist and historian, was a pioneer in the field of zoology. His Complete Works, which spanned a wide range of scientific disciplines, were considered groundbreaking in their time and remain an important historical reference today. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the artistic and scientific achievements of the past.
