Description: | This strange looking animal, according to Bewick, writing in his book, 'Quadrupeds', 'deserves to be noticed for the singular and grotesque formation of its features.' He continues, 'The Ram, from which the drawing was made, came from abroad, with two ewes, as a present to a gentleman in the county of Northumberland. They are very small, and have no horns - In Lincolnshire, there is a small kind, mentioned by Mr Culley, under the name of Dunkies, which is supposed to be the name of this.' This is a pencil transfer drawing for the engraving in his book, 'Quadrupeds' (1790), p.46. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1790 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
