In this photograph, titled "Dressing The Beeves" we are transported back to the bustling world of Chicago's meatpacking industry in 1892. Captured by Fotosearch/Getty Images and published by Strohmeyer & Wyman, this stereocard offers a glimpse into the inner workings of Armour's Great Packing House. The image showcases a scene filled with raw energy and laborious activity. A group of skilled workers can be seen meticulously dressing carcasses as they hang from hooks, their expertise evident in every precise movement. Surrounding them are rows upon rows of cows awaiting their turn, symbolizing the immense scale at which this industry operated. This photograph not only documents an important moment in history but also highlights the crucial role played by these individuals in providing sustenance for countless people.
