The above images are from Harpers Weekly, September 6, 1873. They are from paintings by
Henry Farny. Farny, who lived in Covington at one time, is more widely known for his depictions
of Western American scenes. I've associated these scenes with Covington's Milward & Oldershaw,
but I have no evidence as to which of greater Cincinnati's many hog butcher's these scenes actually depict.
