EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment a fine Champion Romney Marsh Sheep from New Zealand was sold for an impressive 50,000 pesetas to Spanish breeders at a London Stock Show in the 1910s. The Romney Marsh Sheep, a breed originating from the Romney Marsh region in England, was highly sought after in the international livestock market due to its excellent qualities as a meat and wool producer. The image showcases the proud new owners, Ramos and Panos, holding the champion sheep, while a crowd of interested onlookers gathers around. The sheep, with its distinctive curved horns and dense, white fleece, stands confidently on the show floor, its coat glistening under the bright lights. The London Stock Show was a prominent event in the agricultural calendar, attracting livestock breeders, farmers, and buyers from around the world. The show provided a platform for the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and livestock, contributing to the global development of various breeds and agricultural practices. This photograph is a testament to the international trade and exchange of livestock during the early 20th century, showcasing the global interest in the Romney Marsh Sheep and the significant role it played in the agricultural industry. The image is a valuable historical record of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of livestock shows and the global agricultural community.
