Barbary Lamb Rocky Sepia Sheep Species Caprid
EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph captures a tender moment between a Barbary sheep mother and her newborn lamb at a French zoo, circa 1900. The Barbary sheep, a native species of caprid from North Africa, can be seen gracefully navigating the rocky terrain of their mountainous habitat in this image. The mother's protective gaze is fixed on her young one, ensuring its safety as they coexist in their enclosure. This photograph is part of the Boswell collection, showcasing both the old and new French zoo environments. The lantern slide, with its aged patina, transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the early days of zoological exhibitions. The Barbary sheep, with their distinctive curved horns and agile bodies, have been a popular attraction in European zoos since the late 19th century. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich history of animal conservation efforts and the enduring fascination with the natural world.
