EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Domestication Makes Strange Bedfellows" transports us back to the 19th century, where we witness an extraordinary scene that challenges our perception of nature. In this intricate artwork by the English School, a lioness cub is seen playfully interacting with a group of unexpected companions - a bull terrier pup and two majestic lions. The image, originally published in The Graphic on December 7th, 1895, invites us to contemplate the complex dynamics between domesticated animals and their wild counterparts. It serves as a reminder that even in the animal kingdom, boundaries can be blurred and unlikely friendships can form. The lioness cub exudes innocence as it frolics alongside its canine and feline friends. Their contrasting sizes highlight both vulnerability and strength within these diverse species. This enchanting tableau sparks curiosity about how such relationships could have come to be – perhaps through human intervention or unique circumstances in Somaliland where this scene is set. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, we are reminded of the power of art to challenge our assumptions about the natural world. "Domestication Makes Strange Bedfellows" urges us to question our preconceived notions about hierarchy and encourages us to embrace diversity even among species not traditionally associated with one another.
