"Exploring the Global Meat Market: From Oxo Tower Wharf to Belem and Beyond" Step into a world of sizzling flavors and rich culinary traditions as we embark on a journey through various meat markets around the globe. Our first stop takes us to London's iconic Oxo Tower Wharf, where the aroma of succulent cuts fills the air, enticing both locals and tourists alike. Transporting ourselves back in time, an isometric view reveals the bustling scene of the New Metropolitan Cattle Market in 1855. Vibrant colors bring this historical moment to life, showcasing how these markets have long been at the heart of communities. Venturing across continents, we find ourselves in Brazil's Para state, specifically Belem's Mercado Francisco Bolonha. This 19th-century gem immerses visitors in South American culture while offering an array of tantalizing meats that reflect local tastes and customs. Traveling further back in time to Buena, Yakima County in Washington during 1939, Dorothea Lange captures poignant images that depict not only a meat market but also glimpses into daily life during this era. These photographs evoke emotions as they showcase hardworking individuals striving to provide for their families amidst challenging times. Our exploration continues with a glimpse into Paris' meat market from October 1870. Through engravings capturing this vibrant scene, one can almost hear lively conversations between vendors and customers negotiating prices while selecting prime cuts for their meals. Shifting our focus closer to home again brings us to Smithfield Meat Market circa 1905. A black-and-white photo offers a nostalgic look at this historic landmark where early-morning hustle creates an atmosphere unique unto itself - bustling yet serene as workers prepare for another day serving their community with quality meats. Finally, we arrive at Sheas Hotel on New York City's Eighth Avenue in 1906 - a place where weary travelers could indulge their taste buds in the finest meats.
