Boalch in his Prints and Paintings of British Farm Livestock says "Although this series, as a foreign publication, does not fall within the scope of this catalogue, it is recorded here on account of the importance of its representations of British Cattle Breeds a century ago."
This book is particularly important as it depicts the breeds exactly as they were in life without the artistic enhancement used previously. This was also true of Low and his prints published some 20 years earlier.
The map volume shows the breed distributions in colour with quite a large number of colour variations involved. The map volume is often not present.

The Patent Office produced a summary of all patents with an illustration and published them by categories. These cover all aspects of the dairy. Butter, Cheese, Cow Milkers, Milk and Cream, Milk Cans, Milk Pails Milk Testers, Rennet.
The most important patents cover mechanical milking of cows. The drudgery of hand milking requiring high labour inputs becoming a thing of the past. The first farm I worked on hand milked and its a good way to learn about cows, hard drawn, peas in the teats, two holes in a teat (one stream in the bucket and the other up your sleeve, twist it round a bit the other stream in the bucket and the second down your trouser leg), small teats (people who bred Ayrshires with finger and thumb sized teats must have had milking machines.) When it comes to hand milking you can't beat a good handfull!

The Board under Dr Joseph Edwards was always in the lead whether importing dairy or beef breeds.

Not as pretty as our cattle but they could milk. This is the report of that trip just after the bulls got to the UK.

Wisconsin is the dairy state of the US and this history is like all American breed histories full of detail on famous herds, famous breeders and famous Holsteins. A large number of illustrations most of them of cattle.
Madison where the US premier Holstein show is held is in Wisconsin and I was lucky enough to go twice about 10 years ago. Very large numbers of top quality cows, even a biggish shed of Milking Shorthorns, shown on coloured saw-dust with a genius on an electric accordion playing between announbcements. The overall Grand Champion both times I was there was a Brown Swiss. The State prize given to the best group of cows from one state was usually won by the Canadians which didn't go down too well among the US breeders.
