Wild oxen, sheep & goats of all lands, living and extinct
A natural history book by Richard Lydekker, published in London by Rowland Ward in 1898, covering wild oxen, sheep and goats of the world, living and extinct, written for naturalists and collectors. The first picture is a black and white photograph of a group of people seated on the ground near tents and camels in a barren landscape, while the second is a colour plate of a Siberian argali ram standing on grass against a pale wash background, with a plate caption beneath; a designer might take the clean plate layout and the muted natural palette from the colour plate.
