Going to Market - A Glimpse into 19th Century Scottish Livestock Trade
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Going to Market" offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling world of livestock trade in 19th century Scotland. Captured by an anonymous English School engraver and now part of a private collection, this image was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated Times on July 17,1858. The scene depicted showcases the vibrant energy and activity surrounding a traditional market day. As the sun casts its warm glow over rolling hills and verdant pastures, farmers from far-flung corners of Scotland converge upon this central hub with their prized cattle in tow. The composition beautifully captures the essence of rural life during this era. Intricate details bring this engraving to life; each animal's distinct characteristics are meticulously etched onto paper, showcasing the diversity of breeds present at the market. From sturdy Highland cows with their majestic horns to sleek Aberdeen Angus bulls exuding strength and power – it is evident that these animals were highly valued commodities. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, "Going to Market" serves as a historical document offering insights into agricultural practices and economic dynamics prevalent in 19th century Scotland. It invites us to contemplate how our ancestors relied on such markets for sustenance and livelihoods while also highlighting their deep connection with nature.
