EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this tantalizing display of succulent meats from Eastman's Butchers! This early 20th century advertisement transports us back in time to the bustling streets of an Edwardian town. The butcher, donning his traditional coat and hat, proudly presents an array of mouth-watering joints, expertly hung and ready for purchase. The pavement outside his shop is filled with the sights and smells of fresh produce, as a customer carefully selects a basket of vegetables to complement her husband's meaty selection. But for our confirmed vegetarian friend, this scene may prove to be a temptation too great to resist! The juicy, perfectly browned joints, the savory aroma wafting through the air, and the lively atmosphere of the bustling butcher shop are enough to make even the most steadfast vegetarian pause and consider the allure of the flesh. Despite the humorous and playful tone of this advertisement, it serves as a reminder of the important role butchers played in the daily lives of communities during this era. Their shops were not only places of commerce, but also social hubs where neighbors would gather to exchange news and gossip, and where families would purchase the essential ingredients for their evening meals. As we admire this charming snapshot of history, we can't help but be transported back to a simpler time, when the sights, sounds, and smells of the butcher shop were an integral part of everyday life.
