EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving captures the Shop of Castro the Butcher, located in Wagga Wagga, Australia during the 19th century. The image showcases a snapshot of history, depicting an unhygienic and obsolete structure that served as both a residential dwelling and a butcher's shop. This quaint shack stands as a testament to the past, showcasing the old-fashioned style of Victorian England. The significance of this image is further enhanced by its connection to the Tichborne case, which captivated Victorian England during this era. The legal cause célèbre revolved around claims made by an individual known as Thomas Castro or Arthur Orton, who sought to be recognized as the missing heir to the Tichborne baronetcy. However, his attempts failed when he was convicted of perjury and sentenced to a lengthy prison term. As we gaze upon this antique engraved image, we are transported back in time to witness not only a historical moment but also gain insight into retail occupations and service structures prevalent in New South Wales at that time. This illustration provides us with glimpses into everyday life - from public buildings like shops and stores to essential food sources such as meat markets. With its rich history and evocative depiction of an era long gone by, this print serves as a reminder of our roots while offering us an opportunity for reflection on how far we have come since those days in Wagga Wagga over 150 years ago.
