Metzgerladen / Butcher Shop (colour litho)

8666187 Metzgerladen / Butcher Shop (colour litho) by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) (1856-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: Metzgerladen. Verkaufsladen mit grossen Auslageschaufenstern gab es in fruherer Zeit nicht, Handwerker und Hindler boten ihre Waren meist in Verkaufsgewolben feil und stellten sie auf davor aufgeschlagenen Banken, den sog. Scharren oder Schrannen, zur Schau. Noch heute erinnern in alten Stadten Strassennamen wie An den Fleischbanken an diese Handwerkerverkaufsstande. Translation: Butcher Shop. In earlier times, there were no shops with large display windows; craftsmen and tradesmen mostly offered their goods for sale in sales vaults and placed them on benches set up in front of them, the so-called shelves. Scharren or Schrannen, for display. Even today, street names in old towns such as An den Fleischbanken are reminiscent of these artisan stalls.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph captures the bustling atmosphere of a traditional Metzgerladen, or Butcher Shop, in bygone days. The scene depicts a time when shops with large display windows were not yet common, and craftsmen and tradesmen would showcase their goods in sales vaults. In this image, we see the butcher shop filled with an array of meats hanging from hooks and displayed on wooden benches known as shelves. The artist, Christophe (Colomb, Georges), has beautifully captured the essence of a bustling marketplace where customers would come to purchase fresh cuts of meat for their families. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable, from the intricate architecture of the building to the various cuts of meat on display. Even today, remnants of these artisan stalls can be found in old towns through street names like An den Fleischbanken. This print serves as a nostalgic reminder of a time when shopping was more personal and hands-on. It transports us back to a simpler era where craftsmanship and quality were valued above all else. This Metzgerladen / Butcher Shop print is truly a work of art that encapsulates the rich history and tradition of European markets.
