EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a glimpse into the bustling meat house at Hotel Delmonico in 1902. The image, taken by Byron Company, showcases the meticulous food preparation process that took place within its walls. In this snapshot of history, we see uniformed male butchers diligently chopping away at their workstations on a large butcher's block. The photo exudes an atmosphere of hard work and dedication as these skilled workers go about their craft. The composition is strikingly detailed, allowing us to appreciate the precision and expertise required in this trade. Every aspect of the scene is captured with clarity, from the tools hanging on the walls to the various cuts of meat neatly arranged for further processing. Hotel Delmonico itself was located on 44th Street and 5th Avenue in New York City—a renowned establishment known for its culinary excellence during that era. This photograph offers us a rare glimpse behind-the-scenes, showcasing not only the artistry involved in butchery but also providing insight into how such establishments operated more than a century ago. Preserved through time as a silver gelatin print, this piece now resides within the Museum of the City of New York's collection—an invaluable historical artifact that allows us to step back in time and appreciate both craftsmanship and tradition within our culinary heritage.
