1844 Barbecue Buckingham Cook Cooking Ladle Roasting Spit

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1844, we are transported back in time to witness a grand barbecue event taking place at Buckingham. The scene is bustling with activity as men gather around a magnificent ox being roasted on a spit. The aroma of the sizzling meat fills the air, tempting all those present. The attention to detail in this English engraving is remarkable. Each figure is meticulously depicted, showcasing their enthusiasm for the culinary spectacle before them. The central focus lies on the ox itself, slowly turning over an open fire, its succulent juices dripping onto hot coals below. Amidst the commotion, one man can be seen skillfully wielding a ladle, presumably basting the meat with flavorful marinade or collecting drippings for later use. His expertise adds an element of anticipation and excitement to this communal gathering. This historical print not only captures a moment of gastronomic delight but also offers us insight into social customs and traditions of that era. It reminds us that barbecues have long been cherished occasions where people come together to celebrate good food and company. As we admire this exquisite artwork by The Granger Collection, let it serve as a reminder of our timeless love affair with cooking and how it has always brought communities closer through shared experiences and delectable flavors.
