In 1875 it was called The Livestock Journal with a different title page. The illustrations were in the text. In 1876 the title had changed and so had the format particularly in the presentation of illustrations, 52 animals some more than 1 to a plate (2 horse, 2 cattle, 2 pig and 2 sheep are not present. I suspect not bound in when the adverts were being removed, the plates remaining are attractive), also a few other text illus.
