Exhibition of the West of England Agricultural Society at Clifton, 1864. Creator: Unknown

Exhibition of the West of England Agricultural Society at Clifton, 1864. No less than 88, 138 people visited the Bath and West of England Exhibition at Bristol, and the total receipts were within seven half-crowns of £6000. The society at present consists of 1066 members, and the total head of stock from 165 exhibitors was 776. We omitted (from lack of an authorised prize-list) to mention that the head prize in the Hereford yearling-bull class was awarded to Mr. Duckham's Commodore, a son of the old cow Carlisle, of the Silver tribe, which was purchased, as a speculative bargain, at Lord Berwick's sale. In consequence of his dam having "foot and mouth, " he was only nursed at the teat six weeks; but he has thriven apace, and now girths 7 ft. 6 in. at twenty-two months. Such receipts and the Treaty of Hereford between the All Red and White Face tribes will give the society henceforward a national importance, such as it has never yet possessed'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
A glimpse into agricultural excellence: Exhibition of the West of England Agricultural Society at Clifton, 1864. This stunning photograph captures a moment in time when rural pride and innovation came together to create an unforgettable event. The exhibition, held at Bristol's Clifton area, drew in a staggering 88,138 visitors from far and wide, with total receipts reaching £6000 - no small feat! Among the many exhibits on display was Mr. Duckham's remarkable Hereford yearling-bull named Commodore, who went on to win first prize for his impressive girth of 7 ft. 6 in. at just twenty-two months old. This photograph not only showcases the agricultural prowess of the region but also highlights the society's growing national importance, thanks in part to its newfound connections with other prominent breeders and farmers from across England. The 'Treaty of Hereford' between rival tribes All Red and White Face is a testament to this shift towards greater cooperation and collaboration. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph, we are transported back to an era when rural life was at the forefront of British culture, where community spirit thrived alongside innovation and progress. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving our agricultural heritage for future generations.
