EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Bull Baiting (circa 1810)" we are transported back in time to witness a controversial sporting event that was once popular in the early 19th century. The image showcases a tethered bull, surrounded by a group of eager dogs and men armed with sticks. This engraving, created by I Clark after Henry Alken, captures the intensity and brutality of this blood sport. The landscape format allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the scene, as our eyes wander from the determined faces of the participants to the powerful stance of the bull. The vibrant colors bring life to an otherwise grim spectacle, highlighting every detail from the taut rope holding back the enraged animal to each dog's fierce determination. "Bull Baiting" serves as a reminder of humanity's darker past when such cruel forms of entertainment were considered acceptable. It sheds light on society's fascination with sporting oddities and its willingness to exploit animals for amusement. Though it may be uncomfortable for some viewers, this photograph print invites us to reflect on our own history while appreciating how far we have come in terms of animal welfare. As part of Rischgitz's collection at Fine Art Storehouse, this thought-provoking piece offers not only visual pleasure but also serves as a poignant historical document that encourages dialogue about ethical treatment towards animals both then and now.
