EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Shakespeare's day, offering a glimpse into the vibrant history of Bankside, Southwark in London, England. In this snapshot from the 16th century, we witness an intriguing aspect of Elizabethan recreation - The Bear Garden. This facility was notorious for bear-baiting, a blood sport that involved tormenting and worrying bears. The image showcases two mid-adult men engrossed in this animal sport as they watch with anticipation while one brave soul confronts the formidable bear. Surrounding them is a backdrop of historic buildings and shrubs, giving us a sense of the urban landscape during that era. As we delve into this archival piece published in 1916 by Ken Welsh titled "Shakespeare The Player" it becomes evident how deeply intertwined entertainment and cruelty were in those times. The illustration captures not only the intensity of these blood sports but also sheds light on society's fascination with such spectacles. Through this photograph, we are transported to a different world where animal sports held significant cultural value. It serves as a reminder of our progress since then and highlights the importance of preserving historical artifacts like this one to understand our past more comprehensively.
