EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling Bear Garden in Southwark, London, after its third rebuilding in 1648. The image captures a moment in history when bear baiting was no longer the sole entertainment offered at this iconic venue. Plays and prize-fighting had been introduced, adding an exciting new dimension to the already thrilling spectacle. The woodcut, based on a detail from Wenceslas Hollar's view of London, beautifully depicts the grandeur of this arena-like theatre concept. Its monochrome palette enhances the sense of timelessness and drama that permeates through every inch of the print. As we gaze upon this historical scene, we cannot help but contemplate both the excitement and cruelty that unfolded within these walls. The Bear Garden stands as a testament to England's love for blood sports during the 17th century, where spectators would gather to witness intense boxing matches alongside bear baiting. This print not only showcases a significant location in London's history but also serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving society's changing attitudes towards entertainment and animal welfare. It is through art like this that we can reflect on our past while appreciating how far we have come.
