In this photograph, we are transported back to the bustling streets of 1930s London. The image captures a momentous occasion at Smithfield Market, as two porters laboriously carry an enormous Baron of beef weighing a staggering 30 stone. This colossal piece of meat is destined for the prestigious Lord Mayor's banquet, set to take place on November 9th. The sheer size and weight of the Baron of beef is awe-inspiring, as it towers over the porters who strain under its immense bulk. Their determination and strength are evident in their faces, showcasing their commitment to delivering this culinary masterpiece to its final destination. This vintage photograph not only offers us a glimpse into the past but also serves as a reminder of the grandeur and opulence associated with banquets during that era. The monochrome tones add an air of timelessness to the scene, emphasizing its historical significance. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk's extensive archive collection, this image showcases Europeana photography at its finest. It encapsulates an era between wars when extravagant feasts were still celebrated amidst economic uncertainties. As we admire this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at both the craftsmanship involved in preparing such an impressive dish and the dedication required to transport it across bustling city streets
