Prize animals from the Royal Agricultural Society's show in Battersea Park, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Prize animals from the Royal Agricultural Society's show in Battersea Park, 1862....Saxony merino rams...One of them was bred by Mr. Heinrich Adolph Steiger, of Leutewitz and Lothayn, near Meissen...The wool is very evenly grown all over the fleece, and of great strength...the gold medallist (which holds its head higher in the Engraving)...was bred by Carl August Gadegast, of Thal, near Oschatz. Beneath these is Ellington, the winner of the Derby in 1856...This dark brown is the property of Mr. Henry Phillips...he bids fair, when a few more of his stock have come out, to become one of the most popular sires of the day. He did not show to full advantage at Battersea, as the new scene so overset him that he could hardly touch any food...Side by side with him is "Bonnie, " a roan cart mare, winner of the first prize in her class, and the property of Mr. John Gay Attwater, of Hallingwood Farm, near Cheltenham; and beneath them the two gold-medal winners in the Swiss cattle classes. The bull, which is of the "tall Swiss brown race, " is the property of Forstand des Scheweizerischen Bawernvereins, and the cow, which is of the red and pale-white spotted Fribourg race...[was] sent over by Adrien Ecoffey Villars Sousmont, canton of Fribourg'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the Illustrated London News, dated 1862, showcases an impressive array of prize animals from the Royal Agricultural Society's show held in Battersea Park. The image features a selection of Saxony merino rams, two of which, the gold medallists, are highlighted. The ram on the left was bred by Mr. Heinrich Adolph Steiger from Leutewitz and Lothayn, near Meissen, and its wool is renowned for its even growth and great strength. The other gold medallist, bred by Carl August Gadegast of Thal, near Oschatz, is equally impressive. Next to these merino rams, we find Ellington, the winner of the Derby in 1856. This dark brown horse, owned by Mr. Henry Phillips, is expected to become a popular sire in the future, despite not performing optimally at the show due to the new environment. Also present in the photograph are Bonnie, a roan cart mare, and the two gold-medal winners in the Swiss cattle classes. The tall Swiss brown bull, property of Forstand des Scheweizerischen Bawernvereins, and the red and pale-white spotted Fribourg cow, sent over by Adrien Ecoffey Villars Sousmont from the canton of Fribourg, are both proud representatives of their respective breeds. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the agricultural achievements of the time, providing a window into the world of livestock breeding and competition during the mid-19th century.
