**A Glimpse into Rural Life: Showyards of the Royal Agricultural Society of England at Plymouth (1865)**
This print by renowned artist Richard Principal Leitch offers a glimpse into rural life during the Victorian era. The photograph, taken in 1865, captures the bustling atmosphere of the Showyards of the Royal Agricultural Society of England at Plymouth. On this particular day, Their Royal Highnesses - future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra - paid a visit to the exhibition, confining their attention to horses and cattle.
The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, with rows upon rows of stalls showcasing various agricultural exhibits. The atmosphere is lively, with people from all walks of life mingling about, taking in the sights and sounds. Wombwell's menagerie, an equestrian circus, shooting-gallery, and peep-shows add to the excitement.
Leitch's masterful composition draws us into this charming rural setting, where country folk gather for a day out or trip from Devonport town. The print collector will appreciate the historical significance of this image, which provides a unique window into Victorian society and its fascination with agriculture and entertainment.
