Aggression Braces Bulls Bullying Butcher

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Hit One Your Own Size" we are transported back to the 19th century, where a scene of youthful mischief and aggression unfolds. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life an illustration that was originally featured in Chatterbox magazine in 1891. The image depicts a group of boys gathered around a butcher's shop, their attention fixated on an intense confrontation between two dogs. One dog, seemingly smaller and outnumbered, bravely stands its ground against a larger adversary. With leg braces supporting its injured limb, it refuses to be intimidated by size or strength. This powerful visual narrative speaks volumes about themes such as bullying and courage. The symbolism is striking: the underdog fighting against all odds with nothing but determination and resilience. It serves as a reminder that physical stature does not define one's ability to stand up for oneself or others. The presence of walking sticks and canes suggests adult supervision nearby, perhaps witnessing this display of canine bravery unfold before them. As viewers, we are left wondering if these boys will learn from this encounter; will they realize the importance of fair play instead of resorting to aggression? "Hit One Your Own Size" captures both the innocence and complexity of childhood dynamics while showcasing Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving historical artwork for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon.
