EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from the new spectacle at Astley's, Morok. In this intense moment, Van Amburgh finds himself under attack by a ferocious panther. The engraving beautifully portrays the tension and danger of the situation, making it impossible to look away. The image showcases the incredible skill of English School artists in capturing such thrilling moments. It was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on April 29th, 1848. This historical context adds depth to our understanding of this remarkable artwork. The composition is filled with energy and movement as Van Amburgh bravely confronts his attacker. The intensity in his eyes reflects both fear and determination, while the panther's fierce gaze reveals its predatory instincts. This piece offers a glimpse into the world of performing animals during the 19th century in London. It highlights not only their impressive abilities but also the risks involved in these spectacles. Displayed within a private collection, this engraving serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with dangerous encounters between man and beast throughout history.
