EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "In Smithfield Meat Market" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century London. Captured by an English photographer whose name has been lost to history, this print showcases a moment frozen in time within the iconic Smithfield Meat Market. The image transports us into the heart of this vibrant marketplace, where butchers skillfully carve meat while customers eagerly browse their offerings. The scene is filled with activity and energy as people go about their daily routines amidst stacks of hanging carcasses and crates overflowing with produce. The monochromatic tones add depth and texture to the composition, emphasizing both the grittiness of the market's surroundings and the determination etched on each face. This photograph serves as a testament to not only the artistry behind early photography but also its ability to capture slices of life that would otherwise be forgotten. Originally published as an illustration for "The Queens London" in 1896, this print offers a glimpse into a bygone era when markets like Smithfield were at the center of community life. Preserved within a private collection until now, it stands as a valuable historical document that allows us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in Victorian London's rich tapestry.
