Roasting the Rumps in Fleet Street
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a vibrant scene from 19th century London, UK. This engraving from the Liszt Collection transports us back to an era where bustling streets and lively markets were at the heart of daily life. In this particular image, we witness a unique spectacle taking place on iconic Fleet Street. The focal point of the print is undoubtedly the roasting process itself. A group of skilled chefs can be seen expertly tending to succulent cuts of meat, known as rumps, over open fires. The aroma must have wafted through the air, enticing passersby with its mouthwatering scent. It's fascinating to imagine how these culinary masters perfected their craft amidst such a busy thoroughfare. Fleet Street itself serves as an intriguing backdrop for this snapshot in time. Once renowned as London's hub for journalism and printing presses, it was also home to various tradespeople who catered to both locals and visitors alike. The street buzzes with activity: merchants peddle their wares while pedestrians navigate through horse-drawn carriages and carts laden with goods. This engraving not only showcases a momentary glimpse into historical gastronomy but also offers insight into everyday life during that period in London's history. It invites us to reflect on how our modern cityscapes have evolved over time while reminding us of timeless traditions like communal feasting and craftsmanship that continue to shape our culture today.
