Images from
George Garrard
A DESCRIPTION OF THE DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF OXEN COMMON IN THE BRITISH ISLES
Plates dated from 1799-1805.
The last quarter of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries saw much interest in Natural History Sciences and in particular husbandry methods & breeding of domestic stock to feed the growing population of the British Isles. Specialist artists such as Garrard published images after their paintings, such as the ones we display, thereby spreading knowledge of the breeds throughout the kingdom.
George Garrard (b London, 31 May 1760; d London, 8 Oct 1826). English painter and sculptor. After serving an apprenticeship with Sawrey Gilpin, later his father-in-law, Garrard became a student at the Royal Academy Schools, London, in 1778, exhibiting his first sporting picture there in 1781. Though his occasional genre paintings were better received than his many animal subjects (Sir Joshua Reynolds purchased his View of a Brew-house Yard from the Academy exhibition of 1784), he initially determined to practise as a sporting artist, probably on the advice of the notorious sportsman Colonel Thomas Thornton (1755–1823) for whom he had worked in the 1780s.
