EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1823, showcases a mother Egyptian goat, or Capra aegagrus hircus, and her kid, peacefully grazing in an idyllic Egyptian setting. The image, copied from St. Hilaire, captures the delicate beauty of these animals, with the doe's graceful posture and the curious, playful kid by her side. Egyptian goats, also known as bearded goats, are an ancient breed native to the Nile Valley. They are distinguished by their distinctive beard and long, curved horns. These animals were highly valued in ancient Egypt for their milk, meat, and hides. They were also revered and often depicted in Egyptian art and mythology. This illustration is a testament to the rich natural history and educational value of picture books from the 19th century. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of Egyptian wildlife and the artistic techniques of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the hand-colored copperplate engraving bring the scene to life, making it a delight for both children and adults alike.
