EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts a group of Old English Forest Sheep, an Exmoor breed, grazing peacefully in a lush, green forest clearing. The image, believed to have been captured around 1840, showcases the unique characteristics of this rare and ancient breed, which was carefully bred by Mr. Westcott of Hawkhurst, Exmoor. The Old English Forest Sheep, also known as the Exmoor Horned Sheep, are a hardy and resilient breed, well-adapted to the challenging terrain and harsh weather conditions of the Exmoor region in southwest England. Their distinctive features include their large, curved horns, which are used for protection against predators, and their thick, woolly coats, which provide insulation in the cold and wet climate. Mr. Westcott was a renowned breeder of Old English Forest Sheep, and his dedication to preserving and promoting this rare breed was instrumental in preventing its extinction. His sheep were highly prized for their meat, which was considered to be of exceptional quality, and their wool, which was used for making high-quality textiles. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into a time when agriculture and livestock rearing were integral parts of rural life. The serene scene of these sheep in their natural habitat, surrounded by the verdant forest, is a testament to the beauty and resilience of the natural world and the importance of preserving rare and ancient breeds like the Old English Forest Sheep.
