EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the bustling scene of the Twelfth Annual Meeting and Exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, held in Exeter, Devon, in 1850. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, captures the excitement and energy of the agricultural show, with farmers and their livestock making their way to the show-yard. In the foreground, a farmer on horseback leads a herd of cattle through the crowd, while in the background, a horse-drawn cart transports more animals to the exhibition grounds. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the various aspects of rural life during the Victorian era, from the traditional clothing of the farmers and their families, to the ornate decorations adorning the carts and the tents that housed the various exhibits. The Royal Agricultural Society of England was established in 1838 to promote the advancement of agriculture and the improvement of rural conditions. Agricultural shows, such as this one in Exeter, provided an opportunity for farmers to showcase their livestock, share knowledge and best practices, and connect with their peers. The Twelfth Annual Meeting and Exhibition was particularly significant as it marked the first time the event was held outside of London, reflecting the growing importance of regional agricultural communities. This evocative print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when agriculture was at the heart of British life and the annual agricultural show was a much-anticipated event in the rural calendar.
