A Victorian butcher, his block, his beard, his customers [Gustav Doré]

---

A large and burly bearded man wears an apron and holds a meat-cleaver in one hand as he looks, facing us, at awoman and child who have perhaps come to him to buy meat. Other figures in the background wearing tall hats and cloaks suggest this is a scene from a London street. The engraving was made by the Victorian artist Gustav Doré.
