EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed handcoloured steel engraving depicts a female wild goat, or ewe, and her young kid, both members of the Capra aegagrus species. The image is taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library, published in Edinburgh in 1836. The illustration was created by James Stewart and engraved by Lizars. The wild goat, also known as the mountain goat or billie goat, is a mammal native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. These agile animals are well-adapted to mountainous terrain, with curved horns for balance and strong, sure-footed hooves that enable them to climb steep cliffs and traverse rocky landscapes. The ewe in this engraving is shown with her kid by her side, a testament to the strong bond between mother and offspring. Goats are known for their protective instincts and will go to great lengths to keep their young safe. The kid, still covered in spots, is a reminder of the fleeting nature of childhood and the cycle of life in the natural world. The intricate details of the engraving, from the individual hairs on the goats' coats to the textured rocks in the background, highlight the skill and artistry of the illustrator and engraver. This beautiful image is a testament to the natural beauty and diversity of the world around us and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting wildlife for future generations to enjoy.
