The Annual Exhibition of the Smithfield Club - Bringing in Fat Pig, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The Annual Exhibition of the Smithfield Club - Bringing in Fat Pig, 1850. Agricultural show in London. His Royal Highness Prince Albert obtained the second prize for a pen of 38 weeks and 6 days old Yorkshire pigs, fed on meal and milk: this pen, taken as a whole, presented a set of the finest pigs for general use ever previously exhibited. His Royal Highness made his debut as a successful exhibitor with specimens of the porcine race; and it must now be gratifying to the feelings of his Royal Highness to know, that the perfect animals which he has exhibited on the present occasion almost forbid the possibility of further improvement'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Annual Exhibition of the Smithfield Club: Bringing in the Fat Pig, 1850, is an intriguing engraving that captures the excitement and grandeur of an agricultural show in London during the 19th century. The image showcases a group of agricultural workers, dressed in typical apparel of the time, bringing in a large, prized pig for judging. The pig, with its sleek black and white coat, is being lifted by several men, while others look on, some wearing hats adorned with ribbons and rosettes. At the center of the scene, a judge, dressed in formal attire, examines the animal with great care, as if searching for any imperfections. In the background, other farm animals, including horses and cows, can be seen, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the event. The caption accompanying the image, from the Illustrated London News, reveals that this particular pig, which was 38 weeks and 6 days old, was raised on meal and milk, and was owned by His Royal Highness Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Prince Albert had made his debut as a successful exhibitor at the show, and his pen of pigs was described as the finest ever previously exhibited. The image and accompanying text provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th century agriculture and the role of the royal family in agricultural shows.
