EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Centenary of the Smithfield Club Cattle Show" takes us back in time to witness a historic event that marked the beginning of an enduring tradition. Created by Charles Green in 1889, this print captures the essence of the very first cattle show held in London's Dolphin Inn courtyard back in 1798. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are transported to a bustling market filled with livestock and farmers proudly showcasing their prized cattle. The atmosphere is alive with excitement as people from all walks of life gather to celebrate this momentous occasion. Pigs roam freely amidst the crowd, adding charm and character to the vibrant spectacle. Published as a supplement to The Graphic magazine, this engraving beautifully encapsulates not only a significant milestone for the Smithfield Club but also provides us with a glimpse into London's rich agricultural heritage. It serves as a testament to our deep-rooted connection with nature and our longstanding appreciation for livestock farming. Now preserved within a private collection, this historical artwork reminds us of how far we have come while honoring those who laid the foundation for today's thriving agricultural industry. Let it serve as an inspiration for future generations, reminding them of our responsibility to cherish and protect these traditions that have shaped our society over centuries gone by.
