EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history - the year 1892, inside a bustling slaughterhouse in Chicago. The image captures an essential task performed by skilled workers: scraping the bristles off animals, specifically pigs. Published in La Ilustracion Espanola y Americana, this illustration provides a rare glimpse into the labor-intensive process that fueled the pork industry during the late 19th century. The scene is filled with industrious energy as workers diligently carry out their occupation. Their faces reveal determination and focus, highlighting their commitment to their craft. This archival photograph serves as a testament to both human resilience and technological progress of that era. The significance of this historical snapshot extends beyond its visual appeal; it symbolizes an integral part of America's industrial development. The slaughterhouse stands as a powerful representation of how industries shaped cities like Chicago into economic powerhouses during this period. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece from Welsh Ken's collection, we are reminded of the immense efforts made by countless individuals who worked tirelessly behind closed doors to meet society's growing demands for meat production. It invites us to reflect on our own relationship with food and appreciate those whose labor often goes unseen
