DescriptionThis image depicts a meat carving demonstration at the Hilton Hotel at Second Street and Copper Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A man is standing in front of a map of the United States. The top of the map reads "Meat Programs for U.S. Army. Conducted by National Live Stock and Meat Board". Another sign in the background, to the left of the map, reads "Meat Lecture Charts. Kitchen Helps. Carving Cooked Meat. Food Refrigeration. Care of Meat Blocks, Care of Meat Tools, Rules for Safety, Rules for Sanitation. United States Army". The man is wearing a dark colored suit and tie while gesturing and cutting into a piece of meat. The meat is hanging from a wooden square scaffolding from a meat hook. Two metal pans sit on the ground under the meat are collecting any fluids that fall from the meat.
