Member of the Royal Scottish Academy after a painting by Mr. Sheils R.S.A Folio 16.75 x 12 inches. Professor David Low 1786-1859 was a Professor of Agriculture at the University of Edinburgh who created this series to document the pure bred domestic animals of the British Isles in an effort to educate both the landed gentry and common breeders on the importance of selective breeding of animals in their natural environment.
