EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment in agricultural history - "The Queens Sale of Pure-Bred Cattle, the Bull 'New Years Gift, ' purchased by the Earl of Feversham for 1000 Guineas". Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the grandeur and prestige associated with livestock auctions during that era. In this scene, we see a magnificent bull named "New Years Gift" being presented to potential buyers. The Earl of Feversham, known for his discerning taste and deep pockets, was captivated by the bull's impressive lineage and remarkable physical attributes. Determined to add such excellence to his own cattle collection, he spared no expense in securing this prized animal for a staggering sum of 1000 Guineas. The illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on March 12th, 1892. It offers us a glimpse into an era when breeding pure-bred cattle was not only seen as a symbol of wealth but also as an opportunity to enhance one's agricultural endeavors. Now part of a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this lithograph serves as both historical documentation and artistic representation. Its intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship transport viewers back to a time when livestock auctions were prestigious events that showcased the finest specimens money could buy.
