Cincinnati earned the nickname "Porkopolis" in the mid-nineteenth century, when its stockyards and slaughterhouses processed hogs on a scale that made the city one of the largest meatpacking centers in the country. The river town's position on the Ohio made it a natural hub for driving livestock and shipping cured pork downriver and eastward. Scenes like this one capture the working side of that trade, when packing houses dominated the local economy and the smell and noise of the yards were part of everyday city life.
