The New Metropolitan Cattle-Market, Copenhagen-Fields - A Glimpse into 19th Century London's Livestock Trade
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving takes us back to the bustling streets of 1855 London, where the city's new metropolitan cattle-market in Copenhagen-Fields was a hub of activity. The image showcases the intricate details of this vibrant marketplace, offering a glimpse into the daily workings of one of the largest livestock trading centers in Europe. The scene is teeming with life as butchers carts line up along market banks, awaiting their turn to purchase bullocks and calves for slaughter. Pigs can be seen being herded through lanes towards designated pens, while sheep graze peacefully nearby. The architecture surrounding the market is equally impressive, with grand buildings and residential roads providing a backdrop to this thriving trade. Water tanks and fountains dotting the landscape ensure that both animals and traders have access to fresh water throughout their time at the market. Meanwhile, hide markets and private slaughterhouses stand as reminders of the various stages involved in transforming these animals into meat products for consumption. This print not only captures an important aspect of London's history but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity in creating efficient systems for managing livestock trade on such a large scale. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how far we've come since those days while appreciating our connection to our agricultural roots.
