EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Animals at Smithfield meat market" offers a glimpse into the bustling atmosphere of 19th century England. The print showcases an array of animals, from cattle to other wildlife, being traded and transported for business purposes. It is a snapshot of the agricultural industry during this era, highlighting the importance of farming and trade in sustaining the economy. The scene depicts men and women engaged in various roles within the market. While some are workers involved in handling the animals or transporting goods, others appear to be observing or participating in negotiations. Among them is a woman who stands out with her feminine grace amidst this predominantly masculine environment. The old buildings surrounding the market add a touch of historic charm to this image. They stand as witnesses to centuries of commerce that have taken place on these grounds. This particular illustration comes from Rev L Taylor's book "Scenes or British Wealth in Produce, Manufactures and Commerce" published in London around 1835. As we delve into this piece by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to a time when markets like Smithfield were essential hubs for trade and economic activity. It serves as a reminder of our connection to history and how it has shaped our present-day society.
