The image captures an intriguing moment between a customer and an itinerant street-seller known as a cats-meat man. These hardworking individuals would roam the streets pushing barrows filled with cheap pet food, primarily horsemeat, catering to families who owned cats. The scene exudes authenticity, transporting us to the bustling streets of 1930s London. The monochrome composition adds depth and character to this snapshot of history. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of this trade through his lens. Intriguingly, we witness not only the transaction taking place but also catch a glimpse into the lives of these working-class people.
