EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia print depicts a charming group of Angora goats residing in their pen at a French zoo, circa 1900. Angora goats, named for the historic city of Ankara, Turkey, are a distinctive breed renowned for their luxurious and lustrous fibers, known as mohair. The Angora goat has a rich history, with its origins dating back to ancient Anatolia, where it was highly prized for its fine wool. In this image, the Angora goats are seen in their natural habitat, their soft, curly coats standing out against the rustic wooden pen and the lush greenery in the background. Their gentle expressions and relaxed postures suggest a contented and peaceful existence. The Angora goat was once a common sight in French zoos, showcasing the country's connection to its European and Turkish heritage. The Old and New French Zoo collection, from which this print is sourced, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of animals that have been an integral part of human history. This sepia print is a testament to the enduring allure of these graceful creatures and the fascination they hold for generations.
