EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Beargarden, Southwark, London" takes us back to the 19th century when animal sports were a popular form of entertainment in England. The image showcases the infamous Bear Pit, where bear-baiting and bull-baiting events took place during the Elizabethan era until the English Restoration period. In this historical scene captured by an anonymous English School artist, we catch a glimpse of the chaotic atmosphere that once filled this venue. The print depicts bears and other animals engaged in fierce battles with their human counterparts eagerly watching on. It is a stark reminder of the brutal nature of blood sports that prevailed during those times. Samuel Pepys' visit to this very location in 1666 provides insight into how these spectacles were perceived. He described it as "a rude and nasty pleasure" highlighting both his fascination and repulsion towards such activities. "The Beargarden" litho serves as a testament to our evolving understanding of animal welfare over time. Today, we recognize these practices as cruel forms of entertainment that perpetuated animal abuse. This print invites contemplation on how society's attitudes towards animals have shifted since then. As we gaze upon this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us reflect on our progress in promoting compassion for all living creatures and appreciate how far we have come from endorsing such barbaric pastimes.
