Prize cattle, sheep, pigs and horses stand in careful side-on poses in the prints after photographs by G. H. Parsons, published in 1912 in The Standard Cyclopedia of Modern Agriculture and Rural Economy, edited by Sir Robert Patrick Wright for the Gresham Publishing Company. Cattle are treated in particular detail, from Jerseys and Guernseys to Herefords, Shorthorns, Longhorns and Dexters, while rams, ewes, pigs and Hackney horses cover other branches of breeding. Original captions name animals and their show awards, though the photographs themselves may be earlier than the book. These are photographic illustrations made for a practical agricultural work, not original photographic prints.
