EDITORS COMMENTS
Our Meat Supply (engraving) captures the bustling trade and industry surrounding the essential provision of meat in 19th-century England. This print, part of a private collection, showcases the intricate details and historical significance of this vital aspect of agriculture. The image depicts a scene brimming with activity as a train and ship work in tandem to unload an abundant supply of meat. The sheer scale of this operation highlights the importance placed on meeting the demands of a growing population. From cattle ranches to farming communities, every link in the chain played its role in ensuring that fresh meat reached marketplaces across London. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for 'Walks In and Around London' by Uncle Jonathan, published by Charles H Kelly in 1889. It serves as both an informative visual aid and a testament to the advancements made within the meat industry during this era. Through this artwork, we gain insight into not only how our ancestors sourced their sustenance but also how they harnessed transportation systems like trains and ships to facilitate efficient distribution. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece, allowing us to appreciate its historical value while reflecting on our modern-day reliance on such complex networks for our own food supply.
