EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a scene from 19th century London, depicting milk vendors at Spring Gardens in St James' Park. Before the outbreak of the devastating "Cattle Plague" among dairy cows in the city, London had its own local milk supply. The image shows vendors selling their fresh dairy products, likely sourced from cattle kept in cellars or under railway arches.
The epidemic of 1865 led to strict regulations on the housing of cattle and transportation of milk into the city. As a result, milk began to be brought in from the countryside by road and rail. This shift marked a significant change in how Londoners accessed their daily source of nutrition.
The illustration provides a glimpse into a bygone era when dairy farming was intertwined with urban life, before modern advancements transformed the industry. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced during times of contagion and illness, highlighting the importance of public health measures in safeguarding communities.
Through this historical print, we are transported back to a time when milk vendors were essential figures in providing sustenance to city dwellers amidst changing landscapes and evolving agricultural practices.
