EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic presence of Mr. T. W. Fouracres, a three-year-old Devon steer, in 1845. Standing strong with his impressive horns and sleek coat, this magnificent animal was awarded first prize and £30 at the prestigious livestock show organized by the Smithfield Club in London. The image showcases the essence of 19th-century agriculture and livestock farming, highlighting the significance of animals like Mr. T. W. Fouracres in British society during that era. The engraving beautifully portrays the intricate details of this prized bull, emphasizing its importance as a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Taken from an edition of "Illustrated London News" from 1845, this historical photograph provides us with a glimpse into a time when cattle markets played a vital role in trade and commerce across Britain. It serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined agriculture was with Victorian society's economic fabric. Although we may not know who exactly captured this remarkable moment on film, it is clear that they possessed great skill in immortalizing such an extraordinary creature through their lens. As we admire this stunning print today, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to transport us back to an era where livestock shows were eagerly anticipated events that showcased not only agricultural prowess but also national pride.
