INSPECTION OF FOREIGN CATTLE AT THE METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Inspection of foreign cattle at the Metropolitan Cattle Market, [Copenhagen-fields, London], 1865. 'The importance of exercising a strict supervision over the sanitary state of these cattle...has lately occupied much of the public attention...Mr. Gibbins [chairman of the Markets Committee, Corporation of London] and Mr. Rudkin...[inspected] the cattle market at Islington, and visited the several slaughter-houses. Here a number of cows were found in a very bad state of disease, and they were immediately seized and condemned by the officer. The market itself was also inspected, and the attention of the inspector was called to about forty cows which had been sent to the market from a dairy at the west end of London, among which were several in a diseased condition. The inspector, acting under the powers vested in him, ordered the whole number to be immediately destroyed, so as to prevent the spread of the disease. The Markets Committee have made a report on the desirability of establishing hospitals or sanatoriums...to which diseased cattle may be removed...[and] may there receive proper medical treatment with a view to their ultimate recovery. There is a strong feeling among the cattle salesmen...in favour of the establishment of such places'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.

FOREIGN CATTLE ON BOARD THE BATAVIER, LONDON AND ROTTERDAM STEAMER, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Foreign cattle on board the Batavier, London and Rotterdam steamer, 1865. 'The importation of foreign bullocks and sheep for the immense consumption of London has lately been a subject of so much discussion, and the spread of the cattle disease has occasioned so much anxiety as to the condition in which they are brought to our market, that we have thought it opportune to give...Illustrations of the manner in which this trade is carried on in the Thames...the greater portion of the cattle imported for the London market are disembarked at three London wharves... Of the thirty London ships in the trade, many are passenger steamers, which bring over a few beasts on their decks besides the general cargo. Of this class is the Batavier, belonging to the Netherlands Steam-boat Company...Every beast is examined as it comes on shore by veterinary surgeons appointed by the Board of Trade, who...are never known to spare a bullock who is any way diseased. A slaughter-house is attached to each wharf, and the condemned animals are killed without leaving the premises. The foreign cattle are again inspected as they enter the Metropolitan Market, in the Caledonian-road, Islington, where they pass into the hands of the butchers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.

WRECK OF THE ABERDEEN STEAMER STANLEY AT TYNEMOUTH, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Wreck of the Aberdeen steamer Stanley at Tynemouth, 1864. Engraving from a sketch by Mr. R. Watson. '...while attempting to run into the Tyne for shelter, [the iron screw steam-ship Stanley] struck upon the rocks called the Black Middens...From the cries that reached the shore from the stranded ship it was discovered that there were women and children aboard, and that the steamer had a deckload of cattle, sheep, and pigs...the crew could be seen through the darkness throwing these animals overboard...the schooner seemed to slide off the ledge of rocks...The cries of her doomed crew were heard for a few moments, and then they and their vessel disappeared from sight. More than once a horrible crash was heard...and it was thought that she was breaking up; but it was not until after midnight that the Stanley parted amidships, breaking into two separate pieces. The prow and fore part of the vessel was afterwards turned round by the force of the sea, while the stern part lay in its fixed position...Twenty-one passengers, half of them being women, and five of the seamen, with the stewardess, were lost from the Stanley...The rocks...were strewn...with dead bullocks, casks, bales, and other miscellaneous articles washed out of the broken vessel'.

PRIZE BIRDS AT THE POULTRY AND PIGEON SHOW RECENTLY HELD AT BIRMINGHAM, 1862. CREATOR: HARRISON WEIR.
Prize birds at the Poultry and Pigeon Show recently held at Birmingham, 1862. '...no less than 1364 entries of poultry and 232 of pigeons came to this great feathered congress...Mr. T. H. D. Bayly's first prize pen of gold-laced bantams...were a very admirable specimen, and priced in the catalogue at £25...Mr. Kelleway's Cochin-China chickens (cinnamon and buff)...won one of the Amateurs' Cups...In the centre is Mr. Edward Archer's brown gamecock of the pencil-breasted variety...Mr. T. Stretch's Cochin-China chickens (brown and partridge-feathered) were quite as good in their way as their cinnamon and buff kinsfolk, and alike honoured with an Amateurs' Cup...The turkey pens were four in advance of the "goose-step" division; the young turkeys mustered 14 out of the 24, and it was noticeable that, while the Rev. Thomas Fellowes only placed £6 16s. on his prize pen, the second was marked at £20...[In the turkey class] won by Mrs. A. Guy's, the Cambridgeshire blood "hailed from" Grantham. Lord Hill got the only high commendation in it, and that for black Americans; and throughout the whole of the pens there were a large number of whites; but the decisions ran on dark, rich-coloured birds'.

SUMMER, BY T. W. KEYL, IN THE EXHIBITION OF THE BRITISH INSTITUTION, 1864. CREATOR: PEARSON.
Summer, by T. [sic] W. Keyl, in the exhibition of the British Institution, 1864. Engraving of a painting. 'It is not merely that the picture has a careful and precise truth to nature which, though accompanied by a little hardness, is one of the best characteristics of a comparatively young or rising painter; but it has a feeling for general character in the animals and effect in the landscape which are of still happier augury. The scene of the picture is some elevated down of a pastoral district, which conceals a part of the middle distance, but allows the eye to wander over a long reach of flat remoter scenery. The rough foreground is dotted over with clumps of furze, long grasses, thyme, and other wild shrubs or flowers which perfume the bracing and health-giving air of our noble undulating downs. The sky is dappled with light, fleecy, sun-illumined cirrus and cirro-cumulus clouds, giving that endless variety to what may be called the "skyscape," and moderating the heat of the fair English summer season. One of the sheep, it will be observed, is a large black wether, and, like its companions, is - as any one might say who had something of the gourmet as well as the artist in his character - in splendid condition'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Summer, by T. W. Keyl, in the exhibition of the British Institution, 1864. Creator: Pearson. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

IL GOMBO, NEAR PISA, THE ACCLIMATISATION FARM OF HIS MAJESTY VICTOR EMMANUEL, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Il Gombo, near Pisa, the Acclimatisation Farm of His Majesty Victor Emmanuel, 1864. Engraving from a sketch by M. Mariani. 'Il Gombo...occupies an extensive space on the Tuscan shore of the Mediterranean...in the verdant Pisan meadows more than two thousand wild cows feed at liberty; they afford but little milk, and are kept...for the production of calves and as a source of veal supply for the population of Pisa. A vast number of horses are also bred at the "cascina"; last year they exceeded fifteen hundred. But the greatest curiosity of this important farm is the herd of upwards of two hundred camels. About thirty of these animals are employed in the labours of the farm...but the remainder wander in perfect freedom in the midst of the pine forests...Although comparatively in its infancy, the farm is already rich in the possession of useful animals, many of the best specimens having been offered to his Majesty by the acclimatisation societies of England and France. The climate of the Pisan district is very favourable to the health and propagation of the animals imported, and the mildness of its winter and the ordinary tranquillity of the atmosphere are advantages which other establishments in Europe of a similar nature do not possess'.

NORHAM CASTLE, FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHED EDITION OF THE "LIBER STUDIORUM", BY J. M. W. TURNER, 1864. CREATOR: W. J. LINTON.
Norham Castle, from the photographed edition of the "Liber Studiorum", by J. M. W. Turner, 1864. '...a photograph from any work of art...in which variety of colour is a prominent characteristic must be full of relative untruthfulness and can scarcely be other than inharmonious. Hence, photographs from the oil pictures and water-colour drawings of Turner...are to the last degree disappointing...On the other hand, photographs from rare proof engravings after, or monochrome drawings by, Turner, in which (as through the medium of photographs) colour does not interfere with the scale of gradation, are entirely satisfactory...For this reason photographs from Turner's "Liber Studiorum" - a collection which has only appeared in the form of sepia drawings or engravings thereof - possess, so to speak, a genuine documentary value...Turner did not consider that his task was completed when he placed his drawings in the hands of the engravers. On the contrary, he bestowed unremitted attention on the engraver's progress, frequently altering, correcting, and making additions...the photographs from the original drawings, taken by Mr. Thurston Thompson...and published by Messrs. Cundall and Downes, are by far the more estimable'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Norham Castle, from the photographed edition of the "Liber Studiorum", by J. M. W. Turner, 1864. Creator: W. J. Linton. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
