EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MENAGERIE SALE, 1872. Catching the lion, at an auction sale of a menagerie in England" we are transported back to the late Victorian era, where a scene of both excitement and trepidation unfolds before our eyes. The image showcases an interior setting filled with a diverse crowd of men and women eagerly gathered around a cage. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as they witness the daring act of capturing a majestic lion during an auction sale. The wood engraving beautifully captures the intensity and energy of the moment. Amidst all the commotion, one cannot help but notice the mix of emotions on people's faces – awe, fear, curiosity – as they watch intently while someone bravely pokes at the caged beast with what appears to be a long pole. It is through these expressions that we catch glimpses into their thoughts about this spectacle unfolding before them. However, it is important to acknowledge that behind this seemingly thrilling event lies questions about animal welfare and cruelty. This image serves as a reminder of how society's perception towards animals has evolved over time. As we delve into this thought-provoking piece by Granger Art on Demand titled "MENAGERIE SALE, 1872" we are encouraged to reflect upon our own relationship with nature and wildlife while appreciating both its beauty and complexity captured within this historical snapshot.
