The image, derived from photographs by M. Richebourg, showcases an impressive assembly of cattle, their coats glistening with sweat and pride, as they proudly display their winning forms before a large and admiring crowd. Among the distinguished animals on display, several have been honored with special accolades. The Durham ox, owned by M. Bouton de Leveque, stands proudly with the prize of honor, while Mr. M'Combe's Aberdeen ox, a winner of the Prince Albert prize, takes center stage. M. Le Vicomte Benoit d'Azy's first prize Charolaise cow adds to the diverse array of livestock on show.
