EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back in time to the Bear Garden Theatre, located close to the iconic Globe on London's Bankside. In the 17th century, this historical venue was a popular spot for bear baiting, a controversial sport that many disapproved of. Despite the criticism, bear baiting remained a significant form of entertainment during this period.
The image captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the architectural beauty of the buildings surrounding the theatre. The atmosphere is palpable as we imagine spectators eagerly awaiting the spectacle about to unfold in this unique and somewhat unsettling setting.
As we reflect on this piece of history, it serves as a reminder of how cultural norms and forms of entertainment have evolved over time. While bear baiting may seem barbaric by today's standards, it was once considered an acceptable pastime in Britain.
Mary Evans Prints Online has expertly preserved this snapshot of British history for future generations to appreciate and learn from. It stands as a testament to our complex relationship with animals and our ever-changing societal values. This print is not just a visual representation but also a window into a fascinating chapter in London's past.
