Légende
The Pleasure of Success, 1883. 'Success, in every commendable endeavour, is always a pleasure; and the country gentleman who wisely bestows his personal attention, for years continuously, upon the breeding of fine stock, or upon any other sound agricultural improvement, deserves this pleasure as well as one who fights and wins a county election for the sake of his principles or his political party. It would be delightful to meet him, among the visitors to the Christmas Cattle Show at the Agricultural Hall, with his daughters, walking the round of the stalls, and stopping to contemplate their own noble contribution, the magnificent shorthorn steer, to which a first prize in its class has been justly awarded. The animal is thus entered in the Catalogue: "99. Exhibitor and Breeder, William Bland, Esq...the young ladies...understand all the points of merit in this stately beast, compared with others of the class. It is a proud day, too, for the trusty and sagacious hind who has brought the animal up to London, and who cheerfully greets his master here'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
