EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures an unusual butchers stall in the heart of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War in January-February 1871. The Marche Saint-Germain, a bustling open-air market, plays host to this unconventional vendor, who offers for sale both canine and feline meat. The siege of Paris, which lasted from September 1870 to January 1871, had left the city's population in dire straits, leading many to seek out unconventional sources of sustenance. The image presents a stark contrast to the romanticized notions of Parisian life during this period. The butcher, dressed in a simple apron and wearing a beret, stands behind the counter, carefully selecting pieces of meat for a customer. The air around the stall is filled with the pungent smell of raw meat and the sounds of haggling and bartering. Despite the difficult circumstances, the scene is not without a sense of community and normalcy. People gather around the stall, engaged in conversation and transaction. The butcher's assistant, a young boy, holds a dog on a leash, ready to be dispatched for the next customer. This photograph provides a glimpse into the harsh realities of life during the Franco-Prussian War and the lengths to which people were driven to survive. It is a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
