EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print showcases a charming Angora Goat, specifically a Bewick breed, named after the town of Angora in Asia where these animals were first discovered. The Angora goat is renowned for its luxuriously soft and warm coat, which has been prized for centuries for producing high-quality, silky textiles. The historical significance of the Angora goat and its coat can be traced back to ancient civilizations, with records indicating that the art of Angora wool production dates back to 3000 BC. The intricately detailed print, produced in the late 1700s by Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the grace and beauty of the Angora goat in its natural habitat. The goat is depicted standing on a lush, green hillside, surrounded by a picturesque landscape. Its coat, which is typically white, is shown in its full glory, cascading down its body in soft, flowing waves. The Angora goat's expressive face and gentle demeanor add to the enchanting allure of this image. The Angora goat's coat is unique due to the presence of fine, crimped fibers that provide excellent insulation, making it an ideal choice for producing warm and comfortable clothing. The fibers are so fine that they can be spun into thread and woven into fabric, resulting in soft, lightweight, and luxurious textiles. The history of Angora wool production is rich and fascinating, with the art of wool processing and weaving evolving over time to produce a wide range of beautiful and functional textiles. This print serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the Angora goat and its prized coat, which continues to captivate and inspire people around the world. The Angora goat remains an important part of the textile industry and a beloved symbol of the natural beauty and wonder of the animal kingdom.
