EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a bustling scene outside Bethlem Hospital in London. The print, titled "Bethlem Hospital. Cats and Dogs Meat" is part of the Cries of London series published in 1804. In this vibrant depiction, we are transported to a world where commerce and trade thrive. A variety of characters can be seen going about their business, with one particular figure catching our attention - a barrowman selling cats and dogs meat. The artist skillfully captures the essence of daily life in London during this era. The intricate details bring to life the energy and diversity found on these city streets. Kittens playfully frolic near their mother, while curious cats observe from nearby corners. This engraving not only offers us a glimpse into historical trades but also raises questions about societal norms surrounding animals at that time. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans had complex relationships with domesticated creatures. As we admire this piece, let us reflect on how far society has come since then in terms of animal welfare and ethical treatment practices. This artwork invites us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its ability to spark contemplation on our ever-evolving relationship with animals throughout history.
