From 'The Breeds of the Domestic Animals of the British Islands' by Professor David Low (1786-1859), professor of agriculture at the University of Edinburgh. Unlike most C19th animal portraits, which accentuate the 'useable portions of the beast' to glorify the breeder, Low's purpose was educational and so he insisted on accuracy, here even noting the breeder.

Engraving. Printed area 330 x 330mm. (13 x 13"). Trimmed, false margin added, little foxing.
Illustrations of two mouflon, believed to be one of the ancestors of all modern sheep, from Hiob Ludolf's 'Historiam Aethiopicam Antehac Editam Commentarius'. One has its large tail resting on a trolley behind it, in order not to chafe it on the ground, a story dating back to Herodotus. Ludolf (1624-1704), a German orientalist, learned the Ethiopian language from Gregorius, a monk from the Ethiopian province of Amhara. He used this knowledge to research the country, even visiting England to promote a trade scheme, unsuccessfully. The modern scholar Edward Ullendorff called Ludolf 'the most illustrious name in Ethiopic scholarship'.
For a portrait of Ludolf see ref. 26060.
