EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The American Fresh Meat Trade of Glasgow and London" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century England. The engraving, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the intricate workings of the meat trade industry during that era. In this scene, we witness a hive of activity as ships are hung with cargo and hoisted along Upper Thames Street. A steam lighter can be seen docked nearby, its decks filled with crates containing precious cargo - meat from across the Atlantic. The maritime atmosphere is palpable as workers diligently go about their tasks, ensuring the safe transportation of this valuable commodity. The SS Victoria and SS Bolivia stand tall in the background, their holds brimming with ice-packed rooms storing fresh cuts of meat. As we peer closer into the image, we catch sight of men removing these carefully preserved packages from cold storage and transporting them to market halls for distribution throughout London. This evocative snapshot not only captures a moment in time but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness in meeting society's demands. It reminds us how vital international trade was even centuries ago when it came to providing sustenance for growing populations. Bridgeman Images has once again brought history alive through this remarkable piece from their collection – an invaluable window into our past.
