The Tutored Bear, Imitation of a Stag - A Glimpse into 19th Century English Customs and Sports
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving takes us back to 19th century England, offering a fascinating glimpse into the customs and sports of the time. The artwork depicts an intriguing scene from John Harris' book "Ancient Customs, Sports, and Pastimes of the English" showcasing a unique tradition known as "The Tutored Bear". In this illustration by an anonymous English School artist, we see a street bustling with activity as spectators gather to witness this peculiar spectacle. A trained bear imitates the movements of a majestic stag while being guided by its handler. This unusual form of entertainment highlights the creativity and ingenuity that characterized pastimes in that era. The cobblestone streets provide an authentic backdrop for this lively event, transporting us to a time when such activities were part of everyday life. The detailed engravings beautifully capture not only the bear's imitation but also the expressions on people's faces as they watch in awe. Through this image, we are reminded of how deeply rooted sportsmanship was in British culture during those times. It serves as a testament to their love for field sports and their willingness to explore unconventional forms of amusement. Bridgeman Images has once again preserved history through art with this remarkable print from their private collection. As we admire it today, let us appreciate both the artistic skill behind it and its ability to transport us back in time - reminding us that even centuries-old traditions can continue to captivate our imagination.
