EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the proud moment of triumph at the Smithfield Club Cattle Show in 1857. The focal point is a magnificent Shorthorn steer, standing tall and regal, adorned with its well-deserved accolades. Class 10's No. 89 has claimed not only the prestigious title of Best Steer or Ox but also two coveted medals - one gold and one silver. The artist, Harrison William Weir, skillfully brings this scene to life with intricate details that showcase the beauty and strength of this prized animal. The engraving highlights every muscle and curve of the Shorthorn's body, emphasizing its robust build and undeniable presence. The significance of this achievement is evident in the composition; the steer takes center stage against a backdrop filled with onlookers who have gathered to witness this remarkable creature. The bustling atmosphere suggests an air of excitement as people admire both the animal's physical prowess and its owner's dedication to raising such an exceptional specimen. Weir's artwork was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on December 12th, providing readers with a glimpse into this grand event held within the City of London. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity in breeding livestock for excellence while celebrating our connection to nature through agriculture. Today, we can still appreciate this historical moment captured by Weir as it reminds us of our enduring fascination with animals' beauty and their ability to inspire awe through their achievements.
