The International Fur Store, 163-165 Regent Street, 1888 - A Glimpse into the Dark Side of the Fur Trade
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the late 19th century. The image showcases "The International Fur Store" a prominent establishment on Regent Street that was at the heart of Britain's fur trade industry. In this hauntingly illustrated scene, a young man stands proudly beside an array of furs and pelts. His stern expression hints at his involvement in this controversial business. Behind him, posters adorned with bold lettering advertise exotic animal skins such as leopard and polar bear. While this photograph captures a moment frozen in time, it also serves as a stark reminder of the cruelty inflicted upon innocent creatures for fashion's sake. The lifeless bodies of these animals are displayed prominently, emphasizing their tragic fate at the hands of hunters and trappers. As we gaze upon this image today, we cannot help but reflect on our evolving attitudes towards animal welfare. It prompts us to question our own choices when it comes to supporting industries that profit from such practices. "The International Fur Store" may have been just one company among many during its time, but its legacy lives on through photographs like these – reminding us to strive for compassion and ethical treatment towards all living beings.
