EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the bustling streets of 18th century London. The artist, Paul Sandby, beautifully depicts an offal seller going about his daily trade. Pushing a wheelbarrow loaded with a basket filled to the brim with various cuts of meat including tripe, calves feet, trotters, hearts, livers, and lights (lungs), this street trader showcases the abundance of offal available for sale. The image provides a glimpse into the vibrant street life of London during this era. The man's traditional attire reflects the fashion trends of the time - he wears a hat and clothes that are typical for working-class men in 18th century England. His determined expression suggests his dedication to his profession as he navigates through crowded streets. The etching highlights not only the occupation but also serves as an advertisement for passersby who may be enticed by these culinary offerings. Offal was commonly consumed in this period due to its affordability and availability. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this photograph offers us a window into history - showcasing both everyday life in London during the 18th century and providing insight into how food was sold on city streets centuries ago. It is an intriguing snapshot that reminds us of our ancestors' way of life while celebrating their resilience and resourcefulness in making ends meet through various trades such as selling offal.
