Description: | This pencil transfer drawing is inscribed 'drawn from memory' and is dated 1820. It is different from the engraving of the Zebu in his book, 'Quadrupeds' (1791), p.40. Here it has droopy ears and a smooth coat. In the engraving the ears are sharper, the coat dappled and it has lots of hair growing out of its nose! The Zebu is a humped Indian ox or cow. The hump was considered a delicacy in Bewick's time. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1820 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
