EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 16th-century engraving, we are transported back in time to witness a riveting spectacle: Alexander the Great observing a fierce battle between animals. Created by the talented artist Jan van der Straet, also known as Giovanni Stradano, this image captures the intensity of animal baiting during that era. The scene unfolds indoors, where a large group of spectators eagerly gather around to witness this blood sport. Men from all walks of life come together to marvel at the bravery and strength displayed by these creatures. The illustration showcases three main animals engaged in combat - dogs, lions, and elephants - each representing different qualities valued during that period. As we delve into history through this artwork, it becomes apparent how significant such events were for people at that time. Animal fights served as both entertainment and an opportunity for individuals to showcase their power and dominance over nature. This engraving provides us with a glimpse into the mindset of society during the sixteenth century. Ken Welsh's print beautifully preserves this historical moment for us to reflect upon today. It serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with animals throughout history and invites contemplation on how our perspectives have evolved over time.
