EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous occasion at The Smithfield Society's Christmas Show, showcasing some notable prize-winners. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The image was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on December 21,1901. In the photo, we see various livestock that were recognized for their exceptional qualities. Among them are mountain sheep, Berkshire pigs, a red polled steer, crossbred steer, and shorthorn steer. These animals stand proudly with their owners who have dedicated time and effort to raise them to perfection. Notably present at this prestigious event were Gentleman Joe and Captain H. L. Townshend alongside Mr. John McDowall and Mr. A. J Scorer - all esteemed individuals within the industry. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as these prize-winning animals are celebrated for their excellence in breeding and rearing techniques. This annual Christmas show organized by The Smithfield Society has become a significant tradition in recognizing outstanding achievements in livestock farming. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into the past when agriculture played an essential role in society's livelihoods. It serves as a testament to the dedication of farmers who strive to produce superior quality livestock year after year.
