Selling Cats in China, circa 1835
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and intriguing image that captures a moment in time from the past. The photograph depicts a bustling street scene in China, with vendors and customers haggling over the sale of cats. The cats, mostly young and agile, are displayed on makeshift tables or woven baskets, their curious expressions and alert postures adding to the lively atmosphere. The background of the image reveals a vibrant and colorful marketplace, filled with the sounds and smells of trading and commerce. People of all ages and backgrounds can be seen milling about, engaged in their daily activities. The clothing and accessories of the vendors and customers offer a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the time. Cats had long been prized in China for their beauty, agility, and companionship. They were kept as pets, but also had practical uses, such as controlling rodents and insects. The demand for cats as companions or for their fur was high, making the cat trade a thriving business in China. This photograph provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and traditions of China in the mid-1800s. It also highlights the importance of animal trading in Chinese culture and society, and the role that cats played in the lives of the people. The image is a reminder of the rich history and diversity of the world, and the enduring connection between humans and animals.
