EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of the American meat industry. Taken in 1892 at Armour Company's pig slaughterhouse in Chicago, Illinois, it showcases one of the earliest production lines ever established. In this image, male workers can be seen eviscerating carcasses as part of the processing procedure. The building itself is an impressive structure where pigs would walk up a ramp to reach the top before being transformed into finished carcasses. This innovative method allowed for efficient and streamlined production, marking a major advancement in industrial practices during that time. The photograph provides insight into the labor-intensive nature of butchering and highlights the dedication and skill required by these factory workers. It serves as a testament to their crucial role within this booming sector of America's food industry. Captured with meticulous detail through wood engraving techniques, this monochrome image transports us back to a pivotal era in American history. It reminds us of how industries like pork processing played an integral part in shaping not only Chicago but also the entire country during the 19th century. Preserved by Oxford Science Archive, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on our nation's past while appreciating how far we have come since then.
