EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1612, offers a unique glimpse into the vibrant and intriguing world of Elizabethan London. The photograph depicts a view of the Bankside area along the River Thames, with two of the most famous theatres of the time taking center stage: The Globe and The Rose. The Globe Theatre, located on the south bank of the Thames, was the playhouse where the Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare, penned many of his most renowned works. This open-air theatre, with its distinctive thatched roof and three tiers of wooden galleries, was a hub for theatrical innovation and artistic expression during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Adjacent to The Globe, The Rose Theatre, with its red-brick walls and timber-framed facade, was another popular venue for plays and entertainments. The Rose Theatre, which opened in 1587, was the first theatre to be built on the Bankside and set the stage for the theatrical boom that followed. However, this idyllic scene was not just a haven for thespians and literary greats. The image also reveals the coexistence of bear baiting in the same area. The large, enclosed arena in the foreground, surrounded by spectators, is where this brutal and bloody sport took place. Bear baiting, which involved setting dogs on a chained bear, was a popular form of entertainment for the masses during this era. This photograph, therefore, offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex and multifaceted world of Elizabethan London, where the arts and the brutal pastimes of the time coexisted in a dynamic and intriguing way.
