Cattle: History, Myth, Art (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780714150840)

This book explores the relationship between people and cattle through the ages via works of art and artefacts drawn from the rich collection of the British Museum. The author compares and contrasts images from around the world - Palaeolithic carvings to Ancient Egyptian figures, Greek sculpture to English porcelain, drawings by D rer and Goya to Indian paintings and Japanese prints - to create a superbly illustrated celebration of these majestic beasts.
