Old Lithograph of a Ram and Ewe of the Old Wiltshire Breed - 1841
About the Item
Old colored lithograph by Fairland after W. Nicholson, from "The Breeds of the Domestic Animals of the British Isles" by David Low, published in London, 1842.
The lithograph depicts the Old Wiltshire breed, showing a ram and ewe, both bred by Mr. Turner near Hinton, Wiltshire.
The image showcases detailed illustrations of the breed, with particular attention to their wool and physical characteristics, set against a pastoral backdrop. The lithograph was drawn on stone and printed by Fairland, with publication details indicating its release in February 1841 by Longman, Orme, Brown, Green, & Longmans, Paternoster Row, London.
Current Status of the Old Wiltshire Breed
The Old Wiltshire breed, also known as the Wiltshire Horn, has an interesting status in modern agriculture.
1. **Breeding and Distribution:** The Wiltshire Horn is predominantly found in the UK, with some populations in Australia and North America. The breed is known for its shedding wool, which reduces the need for shearing and makes it suitable for low-maintenance farming systems.
2. **Economic Importance:** Wiltshire Horn sheep are valued for their meat rather than their wool, as the breed naturally sheds its fleece. The breed produces high-quality, lean lamb, making it a desirable choice for meat production.
3. **Conservation and Popularity:** The Wiltshire Horn was at risk of disappearing in the mid-20th century, but conservation efforts have helped to stabilize its population. Organizations such as the Rare Breeds Survival Trust have been instrumental in these efforts, and the breed is no longer considered endangered.
