Low - Cow: Kerry Breed
Est: $300 - $600
About this image: Most likely descended from the ancient Celtic Shorthorn breed in Ireland, the Kerry Cow was first brought to the United States in the early nineteenth-century. Despite its initial success in North America, the breed could rarely be found on this continent after 1930 and now mainly inhabits southwestern Ireland. Description: This folio, hand-colored lithograph is from David Low's The Breeds of the Domestic Animals of the British Islands. The work was published in London by Wilson & Ogilvie for Longman, Orme, Brown, Green, and Longmans in 1842. The lithograph was completed by Fairland from a drawing by William Nicholson that was after a painting by William Shiels. The image is a beautiful and carefully observed portrait of one of the most historically important breeds of cow. The work was a famous pioneering work illustrating the forerunners of all of today's most important breeds of horses, cows, sheep and pigs. David Low, professor of Agriculture at Edinburgh University, produced these beautiful lithographs as a reference for those interested in the infant science of selective breeding. He was concerned that the relatively simple basic concepts of matching a breed to its environment whilst improving its productivity were not understood by the majority of farmers or breeders. With the help of a government grant from Earl Spencer, Low set up the agricultural museum in Edinburgh. The artist William Shiels of the Royal Scottish Academy was commissioned to produce a series of paintings of all the significant breeds of economic significance in Great Britain at the time. These paintings were then used as the basis for Low's important work.

John Murray was Premier of Victoria from January 1909 to May 1912. He was physically a big man, good-natured and well-read, an excellent speaker who used humour and irony. An able administrator with a tendency to indolence, he was a good leader in the House, often turning the laugh against his opponents, and managing difficult measures with much tact and success. When Low died at the age of 72 the British press described him as 'the dominant cartoonist of the Western World', a reputation he had enjoyed for more than thirty years.
