The image, published in the Illustrated London News, highlights the rabbits' exquisite forms and remarkable features that earned them top honors. The rabbit on the left boasts an impressive length of ear, measuring nearly twenty-four inches, and an impressive breadth of over five inches. Its ears, a testament to the breed's unique characteristics, are erect and impeccably furred. The other rabbit, a fine grey buck, displays a sleek and well-groomed coat, adding to its allure. The Crystal Palace, an iconic landmark of the Victorian era, served as the backdrop for this grand exhibition of poultry, pigeons, and rabbits.

Harrison Weir, a renowned British artist, captured the essence of the competition through his meticulous engraving. The print, a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, offers a glimpse into the world of animal husbandry and competition during the 19th century.
