"Boucherie: A Glimpse into the World of Butchery" Step back in time to the war-torn streets of Paris during 1870-1871, where hungry inhabitants anxiously awaited their turn at the butchers' house. Clement Auguste Andrieux's painting captures this scene, showcasing the desperation and longing for sustenance amidst conflict. Butchery has long been an essential trade, as depicted in Tacuinum Santiatis illustrations. From selling mutton to showcasing meat from cows, camels, and pigs, these vellum artworks offer a glimpse into the diverse offerings of a butcher's shop throughout history. Traveling across continents to Chicago in 1910, we find ourselves surrounded by bustling stockyards and abattoirs. This colored photo postcard showcases the scale and importance of butchery within a rapidly growing city. Delving further back in time with Tacuinum Sanitatis Codex Vindobonensis on vellum, we witness udders being removed and even brains being sold at a medieval butcher's shop. These intricate details highlight not only the skill required but also the range of products available to customers centuries ago. Moving beyond artwork and manuscripts, we encounter Roman relief depicting butchers engaged in their craft. The stone carving offers insight into how deeply ingrained this profession was within ancient societies. Caudebec-en-Caux takes us down its historic Rue de la Boucherie - a street that has witnessed countless transactions between skilled artisans and eager customers since the 13th century. It serves as a reminder that boucheries have stood as pillars of communities for centuries. In modern-day Paris, horsemeat butchers continue to cater to specific culinary preferences while Chatelet remains home to vibrant markets offering fresh cuts for discerning palates. Les Halles stands tall as an emblematic hub where tradition meets contemporary demands for quality meat.
