EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print showcases the Dishley (New Leicester) sheep, a breed that is the result of a groundbreaking selective breeding program by Robert Bakewell on his farm at Dishley, Leicestershire, England. Bakewell, a pioneer in agricultural innovation during the 18th century, revolutionized livestock breeding with his meticulous and scientific approach. The image captures the essence of this remarkable breed, known for its superior quality and characteristics that were carefully cultivated through generations of selective breeding. The fine details in the woodcut bring to life the distinctive features of these sheep, highlighting their strong build and desirable traits that made them highly sought after among farmers and breeders. As we admire this historical depiction from Thomas Bewick's "A General History of Quadrupeds" published in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1811, we are reminded of Bakewell's legacy as a visionary farmer who forever changed the landscape of agriculture. His innovative techniques continue to influence modern farming practices today. This print serves as a testament to the importance of thoughtful breeding programs and their impact on improving livestock stock for future generations. It is a tribute to Bakewell's dedication to excellence and his lasting contribution to the agricultural industry.
