Uncarting the Cattle at the Baker-Street Bazaar: A Glimpse into Smithfield's Christmas Tradition, 1856 This evocative photograph captures the lively scene of uncarting cattle at the Baker-Street Bazaar in Smithfield, London, during the festive season of 1856. The image offers a unique window into the 19th-century tradition of selling live cattle at Christmas markets. Smithfield, renowned for its meat market, was a bustling hub of activity during the holiday season. The Baker-Street Bazaar, located near the famous meat market, became a popular destination for Londoners seeking fresh produce and livestock for their Christmas feasts. The clubs and clubs of Smithfield, the local butchers' guilds, played a significant role in organizing and overseeing the sale of cattle at the bazaar. In this photograph, we see a team of workers skillfully uncarting a large, fat cow from a cart. The animal's coat is slick with rain, and its eyes are filled with curiosity and apprehension as it takes in the sights and sounds of the bustling market. Surrounding the scene are a sea of onlookers, including children, vendors, and passersby, all eager to witness the spectacle. The transportation of livestock to the bazaar was a meticulous process, requiring careful planning and execution. The cattle were driven from the countryside to Smithfield, often traveling long distances, and were then transported to the bazaar in carts. Once at the bazaar, the animals were uncarted and inspected by potential buyers before being led away to be slaughtered and butchered for the Christmas season. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Smithfield's Christmas markets and the traditions that shaped London's food culture in the 19th century.
