An Experiment in Cattle Buying for a Battleship of the China Squadron
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving by Robert Barnes, we are transported back to September 1894, where an intriguing experiment unfolds. The image depicts a scene of distant shores and naval intrigue as an admiral listens intently to discussions about procuring cattle for a battleship. As twilight descends upon the land, a young captain delivers a message to his superior, revealing their plan to purchase beef from local breeders. This method of ascertaining the weight and measurements of each animal produces promising results. With compliments from Parliament, this daring attempt aims to ensure fresh meat supply for the China Squadron. The village owner, summoned by Chinese authorities, stands proudly alongside his prized shorthorns and oxen. Several animals have been selected for export while others roam freely on abandoned acres nearby. It is here that brave messmen start their journey into uncharted territory. Amidst the bustling activity at dusk, one can't help but wonder about the significance of this experiment in naval history. Will these carefully chosen beasts prove worthy companions on board? Only time will tell if they become trusted buddies and comrades during long voyages at sea. This engraving captures not only the excitement surrounding such innovative experiments but also highlights the intricate relationship between wildlife animals and armed forces. As our gaze lingers on this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of humanity's constant quest for progress within both navy and army ranks alike.
