The Frozen Meat Trade of the River Plate - A Glimpse into 19th Century Argentina
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Frozen Meat Trade of the River Plate" takes us back to 1885 and offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling trade industry along the famous river. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a scene filled with activity and movement. In this intricate artwork, we see ships of various sizes docked at the pier, their steam engines puffing away as they await their cargo. Laden with carcases and wool from cattle and sheep farms in the surrounding countryside, boats line up alongside these vessels to transport goods to distant lands. A meat factory shed stands prominently in the foreground, where workers diligently bale and package frozen meat for export. Nearby carts loaded with goods wait patiently for their turn to be transported across land or waterways. The tranquility of this riverside setting is interrupted only by shepherds tending to their flocks near a rustic hut while boats rest before resuming their journey. A tugboat can also be seen providing assistance in navigating through these busy waters. This enchanting image captures not just a moment frozen in time but also highlights how transportation played a vital role in shaping Argentina's booming livestock industry during that era. It serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving means of transport and its significant impact on global trade throughout history.
