EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library takes us back to the year 1760 in France, where a French butcher is seen preparing to slaughter a bull as onlookers observe with curiosity and perhaps even trepidation. The scene captures a moment in history when butchery was not just an industry, but also an art form that required skill and precision.
The image provides a glimpse into the daily life of French butchers during this era, showcasing the traditional methods and techniques they used to process meat. The butcher's focused expression conveys his expertise and dedication to his craft, while the presence of the bull adds a sense of tension and drama to the scene.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of the importance of food production throughout human history. The act of slaughtering animals for consumption has been a fundamental part of society for centuries, shaping cultural practices and culinary traditions around the world.
Through this print, Mary Evans invites us to reflect on our relationship with food and how it has evolved over time. It serves as a reminder of the hard work and skill required by those who work in the butchery industry, preserving traditions that have stood the test of time.
