This beautiful greeting card shows a Highland Cow and includes the saying ‘Moo’.
Some Facts about Highland Cows
- Highland Cows originally came in a variety of colours including black, red and brindle. Allegedly Queen Victoria preferred the red which led to preferential breeding and this becoming the most common colour.
- They originated in the Highlands and the Outer Hebrides in the 6th Century.
- Both males and females have horns. However, the males grow more forward and the female more upward.

What is a cyanotype?
I love working with the old Victorian photographic processes and one of my favourites is the cyanotype which has a distinctive blue and white colour. If you would like to learn more about the process then check out these articles here on the website. Cyanotype Art and the Cyanotype Process. How to make a cyanotype tutorial. Inspired by Anna Atkins.
