EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "London Market; a butchers shop, 1822" by artist Matthew Dubourg takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a butcher and his trade during this era. In the exterior view, we see a skilled butcher proudly displaying his meat outside the shop. To add a festive touch, he has adorned his cuts with holly, perhaps in celebration of an upcoming holiday season. Passersby are drawn to the vibrant display, their eyes fixed on the mouthwatering selection before them. Inside the shop, another butcher can be seen hard at work chopping meat with precision using a gleaming cleaver. His focused expression speaks volumes about his dedication to his craft. Meanwhile, on the left side of the frame, an adorable dog eagerly devours scraps that have fallen from its master's table. The scene is filled with intriguing details - from men dressed in traditional attire and top hats to various cuts of hanging meat that create an atmosphere rich in both color and aroma. This artwork provides us with an invaluable window into not only historical London markets but also into professions and occupations that were vital for sustenance during this period. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in England, this remarkable aquatint print captures both the essence of daily life in 19th century London as well as showcasing Matthew Dubourg's artistic talent for immortalizing moments frozen in time.
