HIGHI>AND SHEEP AT HOME 



Flioto by Reid 



THE PRESENTATION of this photo-engraving as a frontispiece 

 is meant to be a tribute to the talent of Mr. Chas. Ried. of 

 Wishaw. Scotland, whose worix in this direction has shown tlie 

 degree to which animal photography may be made both artistic and 

 instructive. The sustained merit of the work which he has done has 

 pointed the way to gratifying results, and the outcome has just 

 recently made it possible to illustrate a book of this kind with all the 

 typos and qualities shown as they are. through the agency of photo- 

 graphs made by him and such artists as Schreiber. of Philadelphia. 

 Hills, of Ohio, and Brown of Scotland. In addition to theclearness of 

 detail in this reproduction of some Highland sheep, note the beauty of 

 the mountain stream witii the old water wheel at the side of it, the 

 naturalness of the sheep, the watchful pose of the dog, guardlike in 

 position, with the shepherds resting at the foot of the trees and all in 

 the foreground of the rolling hills suggested beyond.
