• The Library of Congress said:

  Thanks bior for the New York Times article about Commissioner of Weights and Measures Joseph Hartigan. The image probably shows him at work. We will add more information to the description when we update.

  There was a lot of meat eaten in those days and thats for sure. What a display of corpses, almost ghoulish!!! Imagine how the EC bureaucrats and the health inspectorate would react to a display like that today??

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  They would have absolute caniptions! However, at least this array of meat was outside in December, not in high summer...

• Swordscookie said:

  I see what you mean Granny! They have that pulled in for all your worth look about them and the ribs look like the laces to tighten them up!!!!

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
