 Breeds of the Domestic Animals proper to, or naturalised in, Great Britain, consists of a series of 

 Portraits of Animals characteristic of the different races. 



In the year 1832, a grant, by authority of Government, was made from the funds of the Board 

 of Trustees of Scotland, for forming an Agricultural Museum in the College of Edinburgh. 

 Amongst the objects which this Institution embraced, was a Collection of Paintings illustrative of 

 the Bi'itish Breeds of the Domestic Animals. This extensive branch of the Museum now embraces 

 all the more essential Native Breeds, as well as some of Foreign Countries. The Paintings are 

 all Portraits of Animals selected from the stocks of eminent Breeders, wherever the best examples 

 presented themselves in any part of the kingdom. They have been executed by a distinguished 

 artist, Mr. Shiels, of the Royal Scotch Academy, whose time has been devoted for upwards of 

 seven years to the subject. The paintings have been made with the utmost regard to fidelity of 

 representation, so that all the essential characters of external form may be shewn. From this 

 fine collection the materials for the present work are derived ; and such a selection has been 

 made from the Originals as to fulfil the purpose of illustration, without extending the work beyond 

 the limits proper to assign to it.
