EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and significance of the Royal Agricultural Society's Meeting at York in the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a momentous event that took place on a sunny day in July 1848. The image depicts a bustling scene filled with people from all walks of life, gathered to celebrate and showcase their agricultural achievements. The focus is on the prestigious prizes awarded to livestock breeders for their exceptional cattle, particularly the renowned Short Horns from Wiltshire and Eardisland. The proud winners stand beside their prized animals, basking in the glory of their success. The meeting was not only about livestock; it also highlighted other aspects of rural life such as horse racing on the turf and displays of beautifully groomed horses. Shaw Farm's impressive collection catches one's eye while South Lodge proudly presents its finest equine specimens. Amidst this vibrant atmosphere, farmers and enthusiasts engage in lively conversations about farming techniques and advancements. Figures like Mr J. N. Carpenter, Mr Keevil, Mr Bannersman, Mr Gaunt, and Mr Silvester Reed are notable participants who contribute to these discussions. This engraving serves as a valuable historical record capturing both the excitement surrounding agricultural shows during that era and showcasing some prominent figures involved in shaping British agriculture at that time.
