EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Butcher (Scrap) - What for you, Mum?" from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the late 19th century and the bustling world of a traditional British butcher shop. The image captures a moment of interaction between a butcher and a customer, a mother, as she selects the 'scrap' - the offcuts and trimmings - for her family's meal. The butcher, with his blood-stained apron and sharp knife, expertly cuts and arranges the meat, while the mother, with a determined expression, carefully considers her choices. The scene is filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of the butcher shop - the red and white striped awning, the display of various cuts of meat, the wooden counter, and the faint aroma of fresh meat wafting through the air. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of food shopping in the 19th century, a time when local butchers were an essential part of the community. The butcher's shop was not just a place to buy meat, but a source of knowledge, advice, and even social interaction. The relationship between the butcher and the customer was built on trust and mutual respect, as the butcher would often provide valuable advice on cooking techniques and meal planning. The photograph also highlights the importance of thrift and resourcefulness in the daily lives of people during this era. The 'scrap' was a valuable commodity, and the mother's decision to purchase it demonstrates her ability to make the most of her resources and provide a nutritious meal for her family. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of people during the late 19th century and the important role that butchers played in their communities.
