EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Friedrich Wilhelm Keyl, titled 'The International Cattle Show at Poissy, 1862,' showcases an impressive gathering of livestock at the renowned agricultural event in France. The image, based on photographs taken by M. Richebourg, the official photographer to the French Government, offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of 19th-century farming and livestock breeding. The image highlights several award-winning animals, including one of Mr. Thomas West's prize-winning Cotswold cattle and one of M. de Lalouel de Sourdeval's prize-winning Berrichon-Cotswold-Berrichon sheep. The Cotswold cattle, a breed native to England, were highly regarded for their quality and productivity, while the Berrichon-Cotswold-Berrichon sheep, a French crossbreed, had prospered under the care of M. Lalouel de Sourdeval. The prize for the best English pen of sheep went to Mr. Thomas West, a tenant of Lord Valentia, who had previously won a prize at the show in 1855. The French-bred prize-winning sheep was of the Berrichon-Cotswold-Berrichon cross, which had been successfully bred by combining the Berrichon and Southdown breeds. This engraving, published in the Illustrated London News in 1862, offers a fascinating look into the world of agriculture during the 19th century, showcasing the dedication, innovation, and competition that defined the livestock farming industry during this period.
