CHICAGO - MEATPACKING, c1915. A Glimpse into the Laborious Process of Ham Preparation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment in time at a bustling meatpacking plant in Chicago, Illinois around 1915. The image showcases diligent workers meticulously trimming and skimming hams before they undergo the pickling process, preparing them for the market. In this early assembly line setting, men clad in work attire can be seen focused on their tasks as they stand around a large table piled high with pork cuts. Their skilled hands expertly remove excess fat from each ham to ensure its quality and taste. The scene exudes an atmosphere of industriousness and dedication that was characteristic of the working class during this era. The interior of the packhouse is filled with energy as workers diligently carry out their roles amidst stacks of crates and barrels. This stereograph offers us a glimpse into the intricate preparation and processing methods employed by these meatpackers to meet consumer demands. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this historical photograph not only documents an important aspect of American history but also pays homage to the hardworking individuals who played an integral role in shaping Chicago's reputation as a hub for meatpacking industry during this time period.
