EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to witness one of the earliest production lines in America's history: Armour Company's slaughterhouse in Chicago. The image showcases a remarkable process that revolutionized the meat industry during the era of industrialization. At the top of this grand building, live pigs were hitched up, ready to embark on their journey towards becoming finished carcasses at the bottom. The wood engraving from Paris 1892 beautifully captures three crucial stages within this intricate system. Firstly, we see workers skillfully handling live beasts as they prepare them for slaughter and bleeding - a testament to their expertise and efficiency. Secondly, scalding carcasses is depicted as an essential step in transforming raw pork into consumable meat products. This historical photograph not only highlights technological advancements but also sheds light on societal changes brought about by industrialization. It symbolizes how human ingenuity transformed traditional practices into large-scale operations that catered to growing demands for food. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when innovation was reshaping industries across America. It serves as a reminder of our progress while prompting reflection on the impact such developments had on society and its relationship with food production.
