EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a disturbing yet historically significant scene from the Stuart era. Titled "Bear-Baiting in a Stuart Bear Pit, c1934" it depicts English mastiff dogs viciously attacking a chained bear. This cruel spectacle was once a favorite pastime of the people during Stuart times, despite being prohibited by the Puritans during the Commonwealth. The image reflects an unsettling chapter in British history when animal cruelty was not only tolerated but also embraced as entertainment. After the Restoration, bear-baiting regained popularity and continued to captivate Londoners until 1750. From "The Romance of the Nation, Volume Two" edited by Charles Ray, this illustration serves as a stark reminder of our country's dark past. It is important to acknowledge these historical practices while recognizing that they are no longer acceptable or morally justifiable today. Although distressing to witness, this photograph offers valuable insight into how attitudes towards animals have evolved over time. It prompts us to reflect on our progress in creating a more compassionate society where such acts of cruelty are condemned rather than celebrated. As we view this image through modern eyes, let us remember that it represents an era long gone – one that reminds us of both humanity's capacity for brutality and our ongoing responsibility to protect and respect all living beings.
