1870 – Come the bleating lambs

“Come the bleating lambs..” is the caption to this image, drawn in 1870, and appearing in an 1871 edition of “The Quiver”, an illustrated magazine for Sunday and general reading published by Cassell & Co, London. In this scene, a shepherd, seen in the far distance is bringing in his sheep and their lambs to the yards and the leading animals have arrived and are hesitating at the gate, before entering. A relatively rare find, we were lucky to trace an original edition from which this image has been taken. Available in both A4 and A3 sizing options.
