Prize dogs from the exhibition at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, 1862. 'All sizes of dogs [upwards of 800 specimens] were represented...beginning at the top...[is] Canaradzo, the winner of the Waterloo Cup...When you look over him from behind he is very beautiful, but hardly so when you come before him...Sampler and Java both showed well in the other greyhound classes...The next portrait represents a Scotch deerhound, Vengeance...The Skyes, of which we engrave the winner, Tyro...was a good and a very large class...The winning King Charles spaniel (over 7lb.), "Jumbo," was the property of Mr. Woolmington...and a good specimen of his breed, as was Mr. Mandeville's first prize Maltese, "Fido"...Capt. Palmer's boarhound was the largest specimen in the exhibition; and the prize for the best fox terrier was awarded to one belonging to Mr. J. H. D. Bayley...The extra class...had some fifty-four specimens, and of these we have selected Mrs. Warner's Tiny, Mr. Sleigh's Peruvian poodle, Mr. Pearson's Egyptian dog Aegil...Mr. Appleby's Tartary dog Yep...and Mr. Riley's Snow...[There were also] five or six from "the Summer Palace at Pekin"...We are glad to find that Sir Edwin Landseer has made a protest against ear-cropping in future exhibitions'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
