EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the essence of a bygone era in late nineteenth-century London. Titled "Butcher Boy" this colour litho artwork by H. W. Petherick depicts a young lad immersed in his trade, representing one of the many characters that populated the bustling streets of Victorian London. The image showcases the life and work of a butcher boy, who played an integral role in providing meat to the city's inhabitants. Dressed in traditional attire, he stands proudly with his tools of the trade, exuding confidence and determination. The attention to detail is remarkable; every aspect of this scene transports us back in time. From the cobblestone street beneath his feet to the various cuts of meat displayed on hooks behind him, we are given a glimpse into an occupation that was vital for sustenance during those days. "Butcher Boy" is part of Aunt Louisa's London Toy Books series published by Frederick Warne around 1880. This particular illustration perfectly encapsulates both the charm and hardships associated with these tradesmen who were considered essential figures within their communities. As we admire this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder not only of our rich history but also how different occupations shaped society at large. The Butcher Boy represents just one small fragment amidst London's diverse tapestry - a testament to its thriving economy and vibrant character during that era known as "Gods Plenty. "
