EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Butcher and Other Tartar Merchants," was created by the renowned French artist Auguste Raffet in 1841. The image, which is a lithograph in black on ivory chine laid down on ivory wove paper, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a butcher shop in the 19th century. At the center of the composition, a butcher is shown seated at his shop counter, skillfully wielding a large knife as he prepares to cut a piece of meat for a customer. Two dogs, likely guard dogs, sit attentively by his side. Behind him, other Tartar merchants engage in various activities, from weighing goods on a scale to conversing with customers. The scene exudes a sense of bustling activity and the rich heritage of local trade. The image is a fascinating portrayal of the occupations and professions of the time, and the diverse group of men, both the butcher and the merchants, are depicted with a sense of dignity and respect. The setting is a shop front on a busy street, with the shop's signage and other shops visible in the background, adding to the sense of place and location. Overall, "The Butcher and Other Tartar Merchants" is a captivating work of art that transports us back to a different era, offering a unique perspective on the daily life and commerce of the 19th century.
