Painting Description
"The Butcher" is an illustration from the book "The Costume of Great Britain," a work by the English artist and writer William Henry Pyne (1769–1843), published in 1805. This book is a comprehensive study of the various occupations and social classes of Britain at the beginning of the 19th century, depicted through a series of 60 hand-colored aquatints. Pyne's work is notable for its detailed representation of the clothing and daily activities of British people from different walks of life during this period.
The illustration "The Butcher" specifically portrays a butcher in his professional attire, providing insight into the trade and its societal role at the time. The image is accompanied by descriptive text, which offers context and commentary on the subject's occupation, dress, and the significance of butchery in British society. Pyne's attention to detail not only serves as a visual record of the period's costume but also reflects the cultural and economic importance of the profession.
"The Costume of Great Britain" is considered an important historical document for its vivid portrayal of British life, and "The Butcher" is a representative example of Pyne's work in capturing the essence of the nation's working populace. The book was intended to educate and entertain its readers, and today it provides valuable information for historians and enthusiasts of British social history and costume.
