Butcher Chicken Customer Lorgnette Meat Picked Plucked Points Poulterer Satirical Serves
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and humorous vintage print from 1915 captures a scene of a butcher serving a customer in his shop. The woman customer, holding a lorgnette up to her face, is pointing to a plucked chicken that the butcher has picked up for her inspection. The cartoon-like illustration adds a touch of whimsy to this historical snapshot of trade and commerce.
The interaction between the poulterer and his female patron is filled with satirical undertones, as the woman appears to be inspecting the quality of the meat with great scrutiny. The attention to detail in both characters' expressions and gestures brings this moment to life, offering us a glimpse into the bustling world of early 20th-century food shops.
This print not only showcases the artistry of its time but also provides valuable insight into societal norms and roles during that era. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of consumer rights and expectations when it comes to purchasing goods.
Overall, this delightful image is sure to spark curiosity and conversation among those who appreciate history, art, or simply enjoy a good chuckle at the quirks of human behavior.
