This engraving, titled "Hungarian Mountain Sheep at the Smithfield Show" takes us back in time to the bustling city of London in 1868. The image showcases a remarkable display of Hungarian Mountain Sheep, their woolly coats standing out against the backdrop of an agricultural show. The artist, Samuel John Carter, has masterfully captured both the elegance and strength of these magnificent creatures. Their proud stance and intricate detailing make them appear almost lifelike as they stand amidst a crowd of onlookers. It is evident that this particular breed has caught the attention and admiration of many visitors at the Smithfield Show. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported to a different era when livestock exhibitions were highly anticipated events for farmers and animal enthusiasts alike. The Smithfield Show was renowned for its grandeur and served as a platform for showcasing prized animals from various parts of England and beyond.
