EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cattle for the Christmas Market" takes us back to 19th century England during the festive season. The print showcases a bustling scene at a landing point near East Smithfield in London, where cattle are being unloaded from the Lion steam boat. The artist, Edward Hull, beautifully captures the maritime atmosphere as livestock is carefully transported from Dublin Wharf to their destination. This intricate illustration was originally featured in the Illustrated Times on December 21st, 1861. The image transports us to a time when Christmas markets were not only filled with gifts and treats but also with live animals ready for sale. The Great Northern Railway played an essential role in connecting rural areas like cattle stations to urban centers such as London. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot of life in Victorian England, we can almost hear the sounds of hooves clattering against cobblestone streets and feel the excitement that filled the air during this festive period. It serves as a reminder of how traditions have evolved over time while still maintaining elements of our shared cultural heritage. This intriguing print from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into history and invites us to reflect on how our modern-day celebrations differ yet remain connected to those cherished moments long ago.
