EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Bear and For-Bear" takes us back to the 19th century with its charming depiction of a comedic encounter between two bears. Created by an unknown English artist from that era, this print showcases their talent as both an engraver and humorist. The illustration was originally featured in The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1830, published by Hurst, Chance. It captures the essence of wit and amusement prevalent during that time period. The artist's skillful use of lines brings these wild animals to life on paper. In this scene, we witness a playful interaction between two young black bears. Their mischievous expressions are sure to put a smile on anyone's face. With great attention to detail, the engraver has captured the texture of their fur and the intensity in their eyes. This artwork is not only visually appealing but also serves as a reminder of our fascination with wildlife throughout history. It transports us back to a time when illustrations were one of the primary means through which people could connect with nature. Preserved within private collections for years, this print now finds itself under the care of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. Its timeless charm continues to captivate viewers today as it did centuries ago when it first graced the pages of The Comic Annual.
