Detailed Solution

Meat being loaded on the ship describes this image of “Alexandra”. There were new investments and improvements in the transportation system due to colonisation. Animals were brought live from America to Europe through ships till the 1870s. It was challenging to take live animals as they consumed lots of space. Moreover, many of them died, got sick and lost weight. Therefore, meat became a luxury for poor people. With the advancement in technology, there was the development of refrigerated ships. After that, transporting perishable foods over long distances became easier and cheaper.
