EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Bull Dogs, 1872" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. Created by the talented Gustave Doré for his book "London: A Pilgrimage" this engraving showcases a significant moment in British history. The image depicts an alleyway in the city, where bull baiting was once a popular but cruel sport. However, thanks to the Cruelty to Animals Act of 1835, such practices were deemed illegal. In this scene, we see a lone man walking through the dark alley with two majestic bull dogs by his side. Doré's attention to detail is evident as he captures not only the physical features of these powerful animals but also their loyal companionship with humans. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth and drama to this atmospheric portrayal. As we observe this historic snapshot, it serves as a reminder of how societal values have evolved over time. The presence of these bull dogs symbolizes both strength and resilience while highlighting our complex relationship with animals. Gustave Doré's artistic prowess shines through in every stroke of this remarkable piece. His collaboration with Blanchard Jerrold brings forth an insightful exploration into Victorian society and its treatment of animals. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only Doré's talent but also offers a glimpse into London's past – a city teeming with life, diversity, and social change during the 19th century.
