EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 20th century in Chicago, Illinois. The image showcases a bustling scene inside the Armour and Company meatpacking house at Union Stock Yards. Factory workers are diligently engaged in their task of packing sliced bacon into glass jars, forming an assembly line that stretches across the frame. The atmosphere is filled with energy as men and women work side by side, embodying the essence of the working class during this era. Their hands move swiftly, ensuring each jar is filled with precision and care. The room itself exudes an industrial charm with its high ceilings and rows of shelves stacked with supplies. Amidst all this activity, one cannot help but notice the presence of hogs - a reminder of where this process begins. These animals play a vital role in providing sustenance for countless individuals across North America.

It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and laborious efforts required to meet growing demands for food production.
