EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1886 takes us back in time to the bustling streets of New York City's meatpacking district. The advertisement for Halstead and Company, beef and pork packers, showcases the vibrant energy of this late 19th-century industry. In the foreground, a group of rugged cowboys stands proudly alongside their horses, symbolizing the wild spirit that tamed America's untamed lands. These men epitomize strength and resilience as they prepare to deliver high-quality livestock to Halstead and Company. The illustration captures the essence of a thriving business with its depiction of workers engaged in various tasks. Men can be seen laboring diligently, processing beef and pork while others refine lard – an essential ingredient in many culinary delights at that time. Located on Forsyth Street, Halstead and Company was undoubtedly a prominent player in New York City's meatpacking scene. This lithograph serves as both an advertisement for their products and a testament to their success. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to an era when hard work fueled progress. It reminds us of the vital role played by these unsung heroes who ensured that our plates were filled with delicious meats. Thanks to The Granger Collection's preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this snapshot from history—a visual reminder of how far our society has come since those early days of meatpacking in America's largest city.
