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".

Two metal pans sit on the ground under the meat are collecting any fluids that fall from the meat.
