Step back in time to Old Leadenhall Market, London, circa 1880. The bustling streets are filled with the sights and sounds of a vibrant city. Amongst the crowd, you spot a Poulterer - Fishmonger, proudly displaying their fresh catches of the day. Leadenhall Market has always been a hub for commerce and trade. In 1865, artist Andries Scheerboom captured its essence in a stunning painting that still hangs today. The market was known for its variety of vendors, including G Munday - Fishmonger & Poulterer from Cliftonville, Kent. As you wander through the streets of London in the 1930s, you can't help but notice how much has changed since those earlier days. Market Day scenes from c1780-1825 by Thomas Rowlandson depict a lively atmosphere where poulterers played an essential role. A chromolitho titled "Poulterer: A Fine Bird This" showcases the pride poulterers took in presenting their finest poultry to customers. Their dedication to quality is evident as they meticulously arrange each bird on display. The history of poulterers goes beyond just selling poultry; it intertwines with notable figures like Captain William Lane esq of Leadenhall Street who began his literary career in a house nearby. It's fascinating how different professions intersected within these old city streets. Intriguing tales also emerge from this era - "The Fox and the Goose, " published in 1833 as a hand-colored engraving captures one such story that captivated audiences at local pubs during leisurely evenings spent enjoying good company and hearty meals. Saturday nights were particularly eventful when marketing reached its peak. Color lithographs depicting "Marketing on Saturday Night" transport us back to those vibrant moments when people flocked to markets like Leadenhall seeking fresh produce from trusted poulterers.
