‘Fat Beasts and 23 Fat Sheep’
A Catalogue of Agriculture Prints.
Throughout the late eighteenth and nineteenth century, advances in agricultural methods and
techniques were reflected in contemporary prints. The rising popularity in selective
breeding techniques at this time led to a variety of new breeds of pigs, sheep and cattle, and
subsequently a rise in events where they could be exhibited. This shift in livestock becoming
individual ‘stars’ in their own right can be seen in numerous prints in this catalogue. Perhaps
the best example of this is the Durham Ox, one of the most famous animal exhibits of the
nineteenth century. Between 1801 and 1807, the ox was exhibited all over Britain, attracting
enormous crowds. His owner John Day claimed that in one year alone subscriptions for a
print of the ox ‘amounted to two thousand and upwards, from whence the Public opinion of
this beautiful Animal may well be ascertained.’ His popularity at the time can be seen in the
numerous portrait prints published, the various blue and white earthernware commemorative
plates produced, and the proliferation of British public houses named after him. It also seems
fitting, in view of this catalogue, that the Durham Ox’s career should have ended, after he
dislocated his hip, in Oxford, in 1807.
This catalogue is dedicated to the Hon. Christopher Lennox-Boyd (1941 – 2012), without
whose extensive knowledge and collection it could not have been compiled.

The Royal Smithfield Club, originally titled the
Smithfield Cattle and Sheep Society, was formed
in 1798 following a meeting at Smithfield Market,
London, held under the presidency of Francis, the
fifth Duke of Bedford. The society’s aim was to
organise and stage fatstock classes for a national
show. Founders of the Society wanted to emphasise
the principle of early maturity of animals for the
meat trade and the overall improvement in quality of

animals for this trade. The first show was staged in
December 1799 at Wootton’s Livery Stables (Dolphin
Yard), Smithfield, with annual shows then held
at other London sites until 1862 when it moved to
the Royal Agricultural Hall, Islington.

The Durham Ox, a castrated Shorthorn bull, was one of the most famous animal exhibits of the nineteenth
century. Born in 1796, the ox was owned by the influential Shorthorn cattle breeder Charles Colling (1751
- 1836) of Ketton Hall, Brafferton. The grandson of Colling’s celebrated bull Hubback, the animal was originally
exhibited in Darlington as the Ketton Ox in 1799, and was depicted with this name in a print engraved
by Robert Pollard after George Cuit in 1801. The same year, John Day of Harmston, near Lincoln, bought
the animal for £250 and renamed him the Durham Ox. From 1801 - 07, Day and his wife travelled Britain
exhibiting the ox at each stop for a day or many months, depending on the size of the town or city. Their
longest stop was in London, where the Durham Ox was exhibited between December 1801 and December
1802 at Jenk’s Salerooms, Smithfield and Tattersall’s Bloodstock Auctions, Hyde Park Corner. It is recorded
that the ox attracted such large crowds in London that on a single day takings totalled £97. His popularity at
the time can be seen in the numerous prints dedicated to him, the various blue and white earthernware commemorative
plates produced, and the proliferation of British public houses named after him. The Durham
Ox’s career came to an end when on 19 February 1807, in Oxford, he dislocated his hip whilst exiting his
carriage. Efforts to help him recover were of no avail and on 15 April he was slaughtered by the butchers
Pinfold and Sims who had premises in Holywell Street, Oxford, and Evans of Wootan. The carcass was estimated
to have weighed 34 hundredweight. In the same year, Day published An Account of the Late Extraordinary
Durham Ox (London: S. W. Fores, 1807), which featured a detailed record of the animal’s display.
