Hocktide at Hungerford, swearing on the horns at Highgate and the fish harvest at St Magnus the Martyr show the Sport & General Press Agency recording old British customs as well as sport. The prints come from early twentieth-century publications, and the Hungerford scene shows the Tutti-men making their traditional collection. A portrait of the Cleveland Bay horse Special Light reflects agricultural showing, and Megan Taylor's figure skating adds a sporting subject. These are published illustrations from the agency's material, not original photographic negatives.
