EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Italian Cats -meat Boy" by English School is a delightful snapshot of life in Italy. The print, now part of a private collection, showcases a bustling scene filled with vibrant characters and intriguing details. At the center of the image stands a young boy, proudly donning his salesman attire. Balancing skillfully on a pole across his shoulders are various cuts of meat, enticingly displayed for potential customers passing by. Surrounding him are several adorable kittens, drawn to the aroma and hoping for their share of the feast. The atmosphere is alive with energy as other boys gather around, curious about this unique food vendor and his feline companions. Their youthful faces reflect awe and excitement at witnessing such an unusual sight. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Chatterbox magazine in 1876 but has been digitally cleaned to preserve its intricate details. It offers us a glimpse into everyday life during that era while also highlighting the harmonious relationship between humans and animals. With its rich historical context and charming subject matter, "Italian Cats -meat Boy" transports viewers back in time to experience the sights and sounds of old-world Italy.
