EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the diversity and beauty of Somerset cows in 1842. The image features two distinct varieties, highlighting the agricultural significance of these magnificent creatures. On the left, we see a polled cow from John Weir's herd in West Camel, its majestic horns removed to ensure safety and ease of handling. On the right stands a horned cow hailing from Montacute House near Yeovil, radiating an air of regality with its impressive set of horns. The lithograph is taken from a French edition of "The Breeds of the Domestic Animals of the British Islands" by David Low, published in Paris during that era. Its vibrant colors bring life to this snapshot from history, transporting us back to a time when farming played an integral role in society. These cows symbolize not only the thriving agriculture scene but also represent Victorian ideals surrounding gender roles and farm animals' importance for sustenance and livelihoods. The udder prominently displayed on each female cow reminds us of their vital contribution to milk production. Preserved within this nineteenth-century print lies a glimpse into Somerset's rich farming heritage - an ode to both human ingenuity and nature's bounty. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by an unknown creator under David Low's guidance, let us appreciate how it encapsulates our shared history as stewards of the land and caretakers of these gentle giants.
