EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1823, showcases a serene scene of Cashmere goats and sheep grazing in a lush, green pasture. The image captures the essence of these precious animals, renowned for their fine, soft, and luxurious cashmere wool. Cashmere goats, also known as Capra hircus laniger, are a breed of goat native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia, particularly in Kashmir, hence the name 'Cashmere.' The goats are depicted here with their distinctive curved horns and short, compact bodies, which help them survive the harsh winter conditions in their natural habitat. Sheep, on the other hand, are shown with their long, curved horns and woolly coats. The breed of sheep is not explicitly stated in the image, but it's likely that they are Merino sheep, as they were commonly raised alongside Cashmere goats for wool production during this period. The cashmere wool from these animals is highly sought after for its exceptional softness, warmth, and insulating properties. It is finer than sheep's wool and is often used to create high-end textiles, such as shawls, scarves, and sweaters. This illustration is an excellent example of the natural history educational materials available during the 19th century. The hand-colored copperplate engraving technique, which involves etching an image onto a copper plate and then inking and coloring it by hand, was a popular method for producing detailed and accurate illustrations during this time. The image serves as a testament to the rich history of Cashmere goats and sheep and their significance in the world of textiles and natural history.
