EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Bull Baiting" takes us back to the early 19th century when this brutal sport was unfortunately popular. Published by Thomas McLean in 1820, the image captures a scene of intense action and raw emotion. Created by Henry Thomas Alken, a renowned English artist of his time, this print showcases his exceptional talent for capturing movement and drama. In the foreground of the image, we see a powerful bull mastiff fiercely engaging with a bull. The muscular dog stands its ground as it confronts the charging beast with unwavering determination. Surrounding them are spectators eagerly observing this dangerous spectacle unfold before their eyes. Their expressions range from excitement to horror, reflecting both their fascination and repulsion towards such cruel entertainment. The composition is masterfully executed, drawing our attention to every detail - from the taut muscles of both animals to the intricate facial features of onlookers frozen in anticipation. This particular print belongs to The Stapleton Collection and is now part of a private collection. While today's society rightly condemns any form of animal cruelty or exploitation for entertainment purposes, this artwork serves as an important historical document that reminds us how far we have come in terms of animal welfare ethics. It encourages reflection on our collective responsibility towards treating all living beings with compassion and respect. Image credit: Bridgeman Images
