EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "S:s for the Sheep, with their coats of soft wool; They stand in the meadows so pleasant and cool" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century countryside life. The illustration, created by J. Howard around 1870, is part of a collection called "Aunt Louisa's wee wee stories: Country Alphabet". The image showcases a flock of sheep peacefully grazing in a picturesque meadow. Their fluffy coats of soft wool create a striking contrast against the vibrant green surroundings. The artist beautifully captures the tranquility and serenity that can be found in rural landscapes. This chromolithography printing was done by McLoughlin Brothers, New York, known for their high-quality prints during that era. The dedication handwritten on this particular piece dates back to 1875, adding an extra layer of historical significance. The print measures approximately 27.5 x 23.5 cm and belongs to a private collection today. It serves as both an educational tool and decorative piece, being part of an alphabet primer or abecedary book designed for children. Through this artwork, we are transported to a simpler time when farm animals like sheep played an essential role in everyday life - providing meat and wool for clothing production. This image not only celebrates the beauty of nature but also highlights the importance of these gentle creatures within agricultural communities. Overall, this charming print offers us a glimpse into rural America during the late nineteenth century while reminding us of our connection to nature and its inhabitants
