Market Reports - English Country Squire carves the beef

Market Reports illustrated (Postcard series):
MEAT: " English beef was in fine condition."
This report on English beef (as a commodity traded on the Stock Exchange) is illustrated by a ruddy and rotund Eglish Country Squire taking great delight in the serving of probably the largest joint of beef you can imagine! Thankfully it does not appear it is all destined for his luncheon as there are other plates to be filled...!
1903

English Beef - A Feast for the Market and the Table

EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful postcard from the early 20th century showcases a jovial English Country Squire in the midst of carving a colossal joint of beef. The scene, set in a rustic dining room, exudes an air of affluence and satisfaction. The Market Reports of the time declare that "English beef was in fine condition," and this image perfectly encapsulates the pride and joy associated with this commodity. The squire, with his rosy cheeks and tweed jacket, radiates contentment as he expertly wields his carving knife, slicing through the immense joint with ease. His happy expression and the abundance of plates on the table suggest that this is not a solitary meal, but a grand feast. The napkin tucked into his jacket and the gleam in his eye further emphasize the jovial and satirical nature of the scene. The sideboard in the background is laden with a variety of dishes, including ribs, cheeks, and steaks, indicating the extensive range of cuts available in the English beef market. The large platter, adorned with the succulent roast, is a testament to the immense size and quality of the beef being traded on the Stock Exchange. This postcard, with its comic and humorous take on the English Country Squire carving a mammoth joint of beef, is a charming reminder of the pride and satisfaction associated with the English beef industry during this era.
