EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Jacko Macauco or the game monkey" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into an intriguing pastime. The artwork showcases a scene of intense conflict between two unlikely adversaries – monkeys and dogs. Published in 1822, this print captures the essence of a parlour game that was popular during that era. In this battle scene, we witness Jacko Macauco, also known as Jacco Macacco, engaging in a fierce fight against his canine opponents. The clash between these animals is both thrilling and unsettling, raising questions about animal cruelty prevalent at the time. The artist skillfully portrays the confrontation with intricate details and vibrant colors. We can almost feel the tension in the air as these creatures confront each other head-on. It serves as a reminder of how humans have long found entertainment in spectacles involving animals. Beyond its historical significance, this engraving sheds light on our complex relationship with wildlife animals. Monkeys and dogs are brought together here for human amusement but also highlight our fascination with their primal instincts. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, it prompts us to reflect on our treatment of animals throughout history and encourages us to consider more compassionate ways to appreciate their beauty without causing harm or distress.
