EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a nineteenth-century print of Ovis nahoor, also known as the Persian or Central Asian Sheep, taken from Plate 68 of Recherches pour servir à l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères, Vols. 1-4 (1868-74) by renowned naturalists Dr. Henri Milne-Edwards (1800-1885) and Dr. Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1835-1900). The brothers were prominent figures in the scientific community during the 19th century, with extensive expertise in the classification and study of mammals. The Ovis nahoor is an even-toed ungulate, belonging to the Artiodactyla order, Bovidae family, and Caprinae subfamily. It is an artiodactyl, eutherian mammal native to Central Asia, with distinctive curved horns that are a hallmark of the bovid family. The meticulously detailed drawing showcases the sheep's elegant features, including its slender body, long legs, and distinctive coloration. The naturalists' keen observations are evident in the accurate representation of the animal's anatomy and behavior. This print is a testament to the Milne-Edwards' dedication to documenting the natural world through their extensive research and artistic collaborations. Their groundbreaking work continues to be a valuable resource for scientists, historians, and anyone with an appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
