Embarkation of Cattle, at Trieste for the Auxiliary Army in the East, 1854. Scene from the Crimean War. 'Our Artistic Correspondent writes from Trieste [in Italy], June 28th: "Upwards of 12,000 oxen have been bought already in this neighbourhood, chiefly in Friuli, for the Allied French and English Armies. During the last fortnight a large number of vessels have left this port for Gallipoli, laden with first-rate cattle. The accompanying Sketch represents the scene of shipping the oxen. They are first placed on large flats, provided for the purpose; and, after being towed alongside, are hoisted into the vessels with slings, in the usual manner. The vessels destined for this service are easily distinguished by a large letter and number painted near the stern'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
