EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bear Baiting" takes us back to the early 19th century, when this cruel and controversial sport was still prevalent. Published by Thomas McLean in 1820, this sporting print by Henry Thomas Alken offers a glimpse into a dark chapter of our history. The image showcases the brutal spectacle of bear baiting, where a ferocious dog confronts an unfortunate bear. The tension is palpable as the two fierce creatures lock eyes, ready for battle. The bear appears both frightened and defiant, while the dog exudes determination and aggression. Intriguingly, amidst this scene of violence stands a walking stick or cane - perhaps belonging to one of the spectators who came to witness this gruesome event. It serves as a reminder that such blood sports were once considered entertainment for some members of society. This thought-provoking photograph belongs to The Stapleton Collection and is now part of a private collection. Preserved through time, it allows us to reflect on our past attitudes towards animals and how far we have come in terms of animal welfare. As we observe this historical artifact from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, let us remember that progress lies not only in appreciating art but also in learning from our mistakes and striving for compassion towards all living beings.
