EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cats and Dogs Meat!" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of old London. The engraving, created by Thomas Rowlandson and reproduced here from a private collection, captures the essence of street life in vivid detail. In this scene, we see street vendors with their carts filled with an unusual commodity - cat and dog meat. The sellers, equipped with walking sticks or canes for support, navigate through the crowded streets while loudly announcing their unique offering. Their cries echo through the air, creating a symphony of noise that fills every corner. The image showcases not only the marketing tactics employed by these vendors but also provides a glimpse into society's relationship with animals during that era. Cats and dogs were not just beloved pets but also considered as potential sources of sustenance. Amidst all this commotion, several cats are seen curiously observing the spectacle. Some kittens playfully explore their surroundings while others remain cautious. It is a fascinating juxtaposition between domesticated animals and wildlife creatures coexisting within this urban setting. Through this enchanting artwork, we are transported to a different time where daily life was filled with peculiar sights and sounds. It serves as a reminder of how our perceptions towards animals have evolved over centuries while highlighting the rich history embedded within each city's streetscape.
