A Horrible Business: The Hilarious Scene of a 19th Century Butcher Shop (1851) Step back in time to the bustling streets of the 1850s and enter the quirky world of a traditional Victorian butcher shop, as depicted in this humorous photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online. The Master Butcher, with his stern expression and imposing presence, is in the midst of giving an errand boy a rather peculiar set of instructions. The scene unfolds as the boy, holding a bundle of ribs, nervously answers, "Yes, Sir." The Master Butcher, with a twinkle in his eye, replies, "Then cut Miss Wiggles shoulder and neck, and hang Mrs. Foodless legs till they're quite tender!" The errand boy looks bewildered, as if he's been given a riddle to solve rather than a simple errand to complete. The Master Butcher's quirky sense of humor adds an unexpected element to the otherwise gruesome business of butchery. The interior of the shop is a fascinating glimpse into the past, with its wooden counters, rustic tools, and piles of meat. The atmosphere is a stark contrast to the modern, sterile butcher shops we are accustomed to today. This photograph, taken in 1851, offers a humorous and lighthearted look at the daily happenings of a Victorian butcher shop. It's a reminder that even in the most mundane of tasks, there's always room for a little humor and whimsy.
