EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by W. J. Linton in 1845, transports us back to the bustling streets of Holborn-Hill during Christmas time. The Poulterers Shop stands proudly adorned with an array of game birds for sale, enticing customers from all walks of life. This historic establishment, located just a few doors away from Farringdon Street, is renowned as one of London's marvels during the festive season. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with eager customers crowding around the shopfront. Men clad in traditional Victorian attire can be seen inspecting the selection of poultry and game on display. The exterior of the building itself is transformed into a spectacle with its entire front covered in an abundance of rabbits, game birds, and other delicacies. Linton's engraving captures not only the commercial aspect but also highlights the spirit and excitement that permeates through London during this joyous time. It serves as a reminder that Christmas has always been a special occasion where people come together to celebrate and indulge in culinary delights. This remarkable piece from "Illustrated London News" provides us with a glimpse into 19th-century England - its traditions, customs, and bustling trade scenes. It immortalizes an era when poulterers' shops played an integral role in bringing communities together through their offerings of delectable fare. W. J. Linton's photograph serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed since it was taken.
