It is unknown what date this photo was taken. The
image stated across the bottom on Line 1: "A Sussex Shepherd On The
South Downs Steyning." Line 2: "His Best Companions Innocence & Health
And His Best Riches Ignorance Of Wealth" quotes Goldsmith's "The
Deserted Village." Goldsmith was an Irish writer, playwright and
physician from the 1700s. This photograph is licensed by the

reproduced in any manner without contacting MERL at the

It is interesting to compare the above picture side by side with
a picture that has appeared on a postcard done by an artist named
Charles T. Howard (1865-1942). He signed his work as C. T. Howard
and sold much, if not most, of his artwork for postcard
reproduction. The image
on the right was published by J. Salmon; no date is known, but
it is believed to be in the 1930s.

A postcard with the title "Sheep Pass Loch Voil." Look at
the right rear side of the sheep. Is that a Beardie-like
dog driving the sheep down the path?
