EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic presence of Prince Albert's Angus polled ox, showcased at the renowned Smithfield Club Christmas Cattle Show in London in 1844. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the essence of this magnificent animal is undeniable. Prince Albert's beautiful polled ox, belonging to the Scotch breed, was bred by his Royal Highness himself at the Flemish Farm in Windsor. Its impressive stature and regal appearance caught the attention of Mr. Bannister, a butcher to her Majesty, who purchased it for a substantial sum of 60 guineas. The photograph transports us back to a time when agricultural shows were highly anticipated events that celebrated Britain's rich farming heritage. This particular exhibition showcases not only the exceptional quality of livestock but also highlights Prince Albert's dedication to breeding superior animals. As we gaze upon this historic engraving from "Illustrated London News" we are reminded of Victorian England's fascination with farm animals and their importance within society. The image evokes a sense of pride and admiration for both Prince Albert's expertise as a breeder and Mr. Bannister's recognition of excellence. This snapshot serves as an enduring testament to an era when cattle competitions were fiercely contested and agriculture played a vital role in shaping British identity. It stands as a reminder that even centuries later, our connection with these noble creatures endures through artistry such as this extraordinary print.
