EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1870 with this print of Smithfield Market in London. The hustle and bustle of the market is on full display as an early meat train arrives, bringing with it a fresh supply of carcasses for trade. Porters can be seen unloading baskets and crates filled with goods, working tirelessly to move them through the bustling market.
This snapshot from history gives us a glimpse into the daily life of workers at one of Britain's most important markets. The class divide is evident as men labor away, handling the heavy loads that pass through their hands. Each crate and basket tells a story of commerce and trade in a bygone era.
The arrival of the meat train symbolizes not just the movement of goods, but also the passage of time itself. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those early days, yet also highlights the enduring importance of markets like Smithfield in shaping our society.
Let this print transport you back to a moment frozen in time, where history comes alive through the hard work and dedication of those who built our world brick by brick.
