EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from 1819, showcasing the unique and somewhat unsettling profession of the "Cat & Dog Meat Man." In this historical snapshot, we see a man pushing his wheelbarrow through the neighborhood, filled with cuts of cat and dog meat for sale. The image is both intriguing and slightly disturbing as all the cats and dogs in the area flock to his barrow, perhaps sensing their fate.
The contrast between pets being sold as food reflects a different time in history when such practices were more common. It offers a glimpse into the working class trades of that era, shedding light on how people made their living in unconventional ways.
The composition of this photograph is striking - with the man at its center surrounded by curious animals eagerly eyeing his wares. The street setting adds to the authenticity of this moment frozen in time.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this piece of history through their prints online, allowing us to reflect on past customs and traditions that may seem foreign to us now. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our treatment and regard for animals today.
