The format, quality, and style is a giveaway: the caption is "Butcher shop, High Wycombe, England, 1938". If 1938 is 'Victorian England' then I'm Queen Victoria.
God, I love hassling you about this sort of thing.

I don’t think they’re slaughtered, they look as if they’re game i.e. wild animals shot by locals, fowl and rabbits, maybe some hares. This continued until fairly recently: I can remember it in Scotland in the early 1990s. I’m not sure when it stopped.

definitely game, and the story on hanging game can be a little complicated [on birds honest-food.net/on-hanging-phe and rabbits/hares lovefood.com/news/59000/gui]
