Smithfield Cattle Market, at Christmas, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Smithfield Cattle Market, at Christmas, 1844. Farm animals for sale at Smithfield in the City of London. As might be expected from the fine frosts experienced for some time past, and the consequent favourable state of the weather for slaughtering, the graziers were tolerably certain of realising more remunerating prices for the stock, especially the beasts, than we have reported for a lengthened period. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Smithfield Cattle Market during Christmas in 1844. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their ability to capture the essence of this historic moment is undeniable. The scene depicts a vibrant marketplace filled with farm animals for sale. As we gaze upon the print, we can almost hear the sounds of hooves clattering on cobblestone streets and farmers negotiating prices with eager buyers. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as graziers expect higher profits due to favorable weather conditions for slaughtering. The fine frosts experienced in recent times have created an ideal environment for meat production, ensuring that both sellers and consumers would benefit from this prosperous market. This snapshot offers a glimpse into a time when agriculture played a vital role in sustaining communities, providing nourishment through livestock trade. Published in "Illustrated London News" in 1844, this engraving captures not only the economic significance of Smithfield Cattle Market but also its cultural importance within Victorian England. It serves as a testament to Britain's rich history and showcases how newspapers like these were instrumental in documenting daily life during that era. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images, let us appreciate the skillful penmanship used by the unknown artist who immortalized this momentous occasion forever.
