EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intriguing figure of The Cats Meat Man as he goes about his unique trade on a bustling London street in 1899. The man, dressed in a simple working-class outfit, carries a basket slung over one shoulder, filled with freshly caught cats. His face is etched with the lines of a hardworking life, yet he is greeted warmly by the cats that follow him, seemingly eager for their share of the day's catch. The Cats Meat Man was a common sight in Victorian London, where cats were often kept to control rodent populations in homes and on the streets. His trade was an essential part of the city's urban ecosystem, providing a necessary service while also serving as a popular visitor for the felines. The rate card for this photograph, published by Mary Evans Picture Library, indicates that this image was taken in the late 19th century, a time when London was undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization. The city was teeming with life, and the streets were filled with a diverse array of trades and characters. The Cats Meat Man, with his unusual trade and friendly demeanor, was no exception. Despite the controversial nature of his profession, The Cats Meat Man was a beloved figure in the community. He was a reminder of the close relationship between humans and animals in the city, and the important role that they played in each other's lives. Today, this photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of urban life in London and the unique trades that once thrived on its streets.
