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 sheep from the Zetland and Orkney Islands, including a ram, ewe, and lamb. The ram is described as an ancient breed, the ewe is from the island of Rousay, and the lamb is crossed with the pure Corsican breed.
The image showcases detailed illustrations of the breed, with particular attention to their unique physical characteristics, set against a scenic backdrop. The lithograph was drawn on stone and printed by Fairland, with publication details indicating its release in April 1842 by Longman, Orme, Brown, Green, & Longmans, Paternoster Row, London.
