Légende

Royal Agricultural Society of England, Twelfth Annual Meeting and Exhibition, Exeter, [Devon], 1850. 'The implements exhibited were not go numerous as on former occasions, but the deficiency of number was amply made up in superior excellence and workmanship; there was a total absence of the agricultural gimcrackery which formed so great a nuisance in this department at many former exhibitions...Some good haymaking-machines were shown: these implements are coming into much more general use. With respect to the cattle exhibition, it may be remarked that the principal fault to be found was in the exhibition of bulls of the short-horn breed, boars, Leicester and long-woolled rams, in too fat a condition for service. With this solitary exceptional remark, the Exhibition may be pronounced pre-eminently excellent as regards quality of stock'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
