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.

PERUVIAN BARK TREE PLANTATIONS IN THE NEILGHERRY HILLS, INDIA..., 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Peruvian bark tree plantations in the Neilgherry Hills, India: Sir William Denison, Governor of Madras, planting the first tree in a new plantation, 1862. 'Mr. Clements Markham, of the India Office, was intrusted...with the duty of superintending all the necessary arrangements for the collection of cinchona plants and seeds in South America, and for their introduction into India...Mr. Markham...penetrated into the forests of Caravaya, in Southern Peru, which had never before been trodden by any European...The supply of bark from South America was every year becoming more and more precarious, owing to improvident and reckless felling of the trees. The introduction of the cinchona-trees into India had, therefore, become a matter of the greatest importance. Not only India, but the whole civilised world, will derive incalculable benefit from this undertaking...Our Engraving represents [Sir William Denison] in the act of planting the first plant in one of the new cinchona plantations, accompanied by...Mr. M'lvor, the Superintendent of Cinchona Plantations (in the foreground holding a spade). In the background is another thriving cinchona plantation...and to the right is a nursery of young cinchona plants'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
