The International Cattle Show at Poissy, 1862. Engraving from photographs by M. Richebourg, photographer to the French Government. 'M. Bouton de Leveque's prize of honour Durham ox; Mr. M'Combe's prize of honour Aberdeen ox, winner of the Prince Albert prize; M. Le Vicomte Benoit d'Azy's first prize Charolaise cow; Lady Emily Pigot's prize of honour cow, Empress of Hindostan, winner of the Great Gold Medal...Mr. M'Combie's black ox swept off the ordinary gold medal (the first prize in his class) and the great gold medal of honour for steers, and the Prince Albert Cup as the best beast in the yard as well. This was a worthy finale to his Scottish, Birmingham, and Smithfield triumphs, and he was sold to one of the Royal butchers on the Thursday for about £90'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
