EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print, created by renowned English artist Harrison Weir in 1860, showcases four exceptional Prize Shorthorns at the Royal Agricultural Society's show in Canterbury. The image is taken from the pages of the Illustrated London News. In Class 2, we find Malachite, owned by Mr. Jonathan Peel, a dark roan Shorthorn nearly eighteen months old. Class 1 is graced by the presence of Lieut.-Col. Towneley's Royal Butterfly, a nearly three-year-old Shorthorn bull, with three of his produce entered at the Canterbury show. Class 5 introduces Wood Rose, a dark roan heifer belonging to Mr. Henry Ambler, about two years and three months old. Her most striking features include her open head and ample, good thick flesh. Lastly, Class 4 presents Rosette, a heifer bred by Mr. Wetherell, the celebrated auctioneer, and is barely four years old. Despite her young age, she boasts a remarkable development. The Shorthorn breed, known for its versatility and productivity, was a significant part of British agriculture during the 19th century. This evocative print, with its intricate engraving, offers a glimpse into the rich history of agriculture and livestock breeding in Britain during this period. Harrison Weir's masterful artistry captures the essence of these prize-winning animals, making this an essential addition to any collection focusing on the agricultural, historical, or artistic aspects of the 19th century.
