From picturesque Alpine meadows to bustling farms, this captivating collection of artworks and photographs unveils the beauty and intricacies of animal rearing. In Rosa Bonheur's mesmerizing painting, "An Alpine Shepherd Giving Salt to His Sheep, " we witness the shepherd's tender care for his flock under the warm sun of 1864. The scene is reminiscent of a simpler time when man and nature were intertwined. Moving across continents, we find ourselves in Cochin China, where adorable chicks roam freely as a young girl lovingly feeds them alongside majestic peacocks. This delightful moment captured from Frederick Warne & Co's book "Afternoon Tea: Rhymes for Children" transports us to an idyllic farmyard filled with laughter and joy. Traveling further back in time, Desire Charnay's engraving takes us on an Australian adventure during Napoleon III's reign. We witness sheep being skillfully sheared during mowing season—a testament to human ingenuity and hard work shaping agricultural practices around the globe. Raymond Esbrat's painting invites us into Napoleon III's visit to Coudray Farm in Sologne—an homage to French farming traditions. The vibrant colors depict a thriving countryside teeming with life as farmers proudly showcase their livestock. Venturing eastward, Dieulefils' photograph captures Chinese duck feathers—exquisite treasures from Saigon that highlight how different cultures value various aspects of animal husbandry. These delicate plumes tell tales of trade routes connecting distant lands through commerce and cultural exchange. Journeying even further east brings us to Saudi Arabia, where Emir Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Al Rashid raises pure-blood Arab horses coveted by horse enthusiasts worldwide.
