EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of triumph for Arthur Hiscock Esq. and his Champion Crossbred Pigs from Manor Farm in Motcombe, near Shaftesbury, Dorset, England, at the London Cattle Show in 1914. The image showcases the proud farmer holding up the grand champion trophy, flanked by his exceptional crossbred pigs, their sleek coats glistening with health and vitality. The pigs were raised on Thornleys Food, a renowned brand during that era, which contributed significantly to their exceptional growth and development. The use of Thornleys Food was a testament to the farmer's commitment to providing his livestock with the best possible nutrition. The London Cattle Show was a prestigious event in the agricultural calendar, attracting farmers and livestock breeders from all corners of the country. The competition was fierce, and the triumph of these Champion Crossbred Pigs was a source of great pride for the farming community in Dorset. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich agricultural history of England during the early 20th century. It highlights the importance of farming and livestock rearing in rural communities and the role of innovation, such as the use of high-quality feed, in driving agricultural success. The image is a poignant reminder of the close connection between farmers, their livestock, and the land, and the enduring traditions that continue to shape the farming industry today.
