Prize animals at the International Cattle Show of the Vienna Exhibition, 1873. 'At the cattle, sheep, and pig show...the Styrian and Tyrolese exhibitions were extremely interesting, as was also the Hungarian, where each stall had its attendant keeper, clothed in an elaborately-embroidered loose white robe, or an ample white woollen cloak adorned with arabesques of red and blue braid, and wearing fabulous head-gear and high boots...The most attractive part of the Hungarian show, however, was the separate pen of the Kapuvar Agricultural Society...where some splendid cattle, with handsome shapes and graceful heads, of a breed reared by Prince Esterhazy, were displayed. By the side of the pen where they were confined rose a curious, tent-like Hungarian hut, with a dog-kennel, a primitive fireplace composed of three cross poles, from which hung an iron pot, and a well, which one had to look down the trunk of a hollow tree to discover. Scattered round about, seated on benches outside or lying cosily inside the hut, were Hungarian peasants, in the most picturesque of their striking national costumes...Italy sent some curious little black hogs...Hungary offered for inspection its ferocious woolly Mangalicza swine'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
