Head of a Goat Foetus
Original inscriptions: ‘No 2. The head of a Kid which had been taken out of the Belly of its Mother at Chittle – droog in June 1800. The head only was brought to a Gentleman by whom it had been preserved in Spirits and this Figure shews its appearance’ [blank] ‘Weeks thereafter. The Body of the Kid was not produced but it was said to have nothing remarkable in its appearance and no satisfactory account could be obtained of the Mother.’
‘Viewed in Profile it seems to resemble a Monkey (see No. 2) to which the hair about the Temple and Forehead further contributes. The only Eye (see No. 1) resembles a Die in shape inclosing an Oval whitish substance at least such was its appearance when the Drawings were taken in June 1800. The two Bags’ [blank] ‘depended’ [blank] ‘Inches in that State.’ [with dimensions marked on the drawing]
