The Smithfield Club Cattle Show at the new Agricultural Hall, Islington, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The Smithfield Club Cattle Show at the new Agricultural Hall, Islington, [London], 1862. The interior of the building has more than answered all the expectations formed of it; and the arrangements about dividing the sheep pens and making avenues between will help to ease the crush which was experienced when the crowd was at its height. There is space still available behind, and ere long we quite expect that the Smithfield Club will begin to ask for more room, and the Company be only too happy to accommodate them. It seems thought that the centre of the hall will be the most appropriate place for Mr. Jonas Webb's statue...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling atmosphere of The Smithfield Club Cattle Show at the new Agricultural Hall in Islington, London in 1862. The image showcases a sea of people navigating through carefully divided sheep pens and avenues, as they admire the impressive livestock on display.
The interior of the building is described as exceeding all expectations, with ample space still available for future expansions. The engraving from "Illustrated London News" highlights the grandeur of the hall, constructed with sturdy girders and glass panels to create a bright and airy environment for both farmers and visitors alike.
In the center of it all stands Mr. Jonas Webb's statue, symbolizing his significant contribution to agriculture. This snapshot from the 19th century encapsulates a time when agricultural shows were not only a showcase for livestock but also an opportunity for farmers to network, learn about new techniques, and celebrate their shared passion for farming.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the dedication and hard work that went into organizing such an event. It serves as a reminder of our rich agricultural heritage and how these traditions continue to shape our modern farming practices today.
