EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cats meat man, London, 1926-1927" transports us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century Britain. The image captures a young boy donning a cap and headgear, embodying the role of a cats meat seller. With determination in his eyes, he stands beside his cart filled with fresh cuts of meat for feline companions. The backdrop showcases the architectural beauty of London's buildings, adding depth to this snapshot in time. It is evident that this street trader has found his niche within the city's vibrant landscape. As we peer closer into the photograph, we notice curious cats peering through an iron gate nearby – their presence serving as a testament to both the demand for this unique trade and its importance within local communities. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of nostalgia to this piece while emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow on each surface it touches. The photogravure technique employed by McLeish further enhances these details, allowing us to appreciate every intricate line etched onto paper. This remarkable illustration was featured in "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published by Amalgamated Press in 1926-1927. Its inclusion within such esteemed publication solidifies its significance as not only an artistic creation but also as a historical document capturing everyday life during that era. As we gaze upon this evocative print from McLeish's lens, we are transported back
