HIGHLAND SHEEP AT HOME 



THE PRESENTATION of this photo-engraving as a frontis- 

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

 Reid, of Wishaw, Scotland, whose work in this direction has 

 shown the degree to which animal photography may be made both 

 artistic and instructive. The sustained merit of the work which 

 he had 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 types and qualities shown as they are, 

 through the agency of photographs made by him and such artists 

 as Schreiber of Philadelphia, Hills of Ohio, and Brown cf Sect- 

 land. In addition to the clearness of detail in this reproduction 

 of some Highland sheep, note the beauty of the mountain stream 

 with the old water wheel at the side of it, the naturalness of the 

 cheep, the watchful pose of the dog, guardlike in position, with 

 the sLepherds resting at the foot of the trees and all in the fore- 

 ground of the rolling hills suggested beyond.
