EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of Edinburgh in 1825 with this print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The scene captures a Journeyman Flesher selling whole sheep carcasses, as was common practice during this era.

In the background, a street porter and carrier can be seen going about their daily tasks, with the carrier leading his horse as required by law at the time. Each figure in this image tells a story of resilience and determination in the face of challenging circumstances.
The historical significance of this snapshot is undeniable, offering a glimpse into the vibrant trade culture that once thrived on Edinburgh's streets. From meat sellers to fish vendors, every individual played a crucial role in providing essential goods to their community.
As you study this print closely, you can almost hear the sounds of hooves clattering against cobblestones and market vendors calling out their wares. It serves as a reminder of how far we've come since those days while also honoring the legacy of those who paved the way for modern commerce.
