Newgate Market, on Christmas Eve, 1845 - A Glimpse into London's Meat Trade
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the 19th century. Captured by W. J. Linton, it showcases Newgate Market on a chilly Christmas Eve in 1845. The scene is alive with activity as butchers proudly display their haunches of meat for sale. Newgate Meat Market was renowned for its significant role in supplying the vast metropolis with sustenance. Here, a staggering number of sheep and cattle were traded annually - one and a half million sheep and two hundred thousand head of cattle to be precise. This image offers a glimpse into the heart of this thriving market that fueled the city's appetite. Intriguingly framed against St Paul's Cathedral, an iconic symbol of Christianity towering over the cobbled streets, this photograph captures not only commerce but also hints at religious significance during Christmastime. The customers milling around reflect the diversity found within Victorian society - men from all walks of life engaged in their daily routines or perhaps preparing for festive feasts with loved ones. W. J. Linton's masterful engraving immortalizes this momentous snapshot in time when Newgate Market played an integral role in sustaining Londoners' appetites during one particularly memorable Christmas season.
