EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by renowned English artist Thomas Bewick showcases two distinct kinds of English wild cattle, with the one above being the Chillingham sort. Dating back to the late 18th century, around 1790, this historical image offers a rare glimpse into a bygone era. Bewick, a master engraver and naturalist, was deeply fascinated by the natural world and often depicted various species in his works. The Chillingham wild cattle, native to the Chillingham Castle estate in Northumberland, were a particular source of intrigue for him. He would later create one of his finest engravings of this breed, showcasing their unique features and the rugged terrain of their habitat. The Chillingham wild cattle, also known as the Northumberland or Chillingham Fallow deer-oxen, are a rare and ancient breed that has survived to the present day. They are believed to be descended from deer-oxen that were introduced to the Chillingham estate around the 13th century. These cattle roam freely in the park and are not enclosed in a traditional herd, making them a unique and fascinating sight. The other kind of wild cattle depicted in this print is less distinct, but it is likely to be the Fallow deer-oxen, which were also found in England during Bewick's time. These cattle, like the Chillingham sort, were hunted for their meat and hides, but they were becoming increasingly rare due to habitat loss and competition with domestic livestock. This print serves as a reminder of the rich natural history of England during the late 18th century and the importance of preserving rare and endangered species. Bewick's meticulous attention to detail and his deep appreciation for the natural world make this print a valuable historical treasure.
