Antique Aquatint 'A Match at the Badger' by J. Clark, 1820

About the Item

Handcolored aquatint made after Henry Alken by J. Clark. Published by T. McLean, London, 1820. The antique aquatint titled 'A Match at the Badger' by J. Clark likely portrays a scene related to a traditional sport or rural activity, possibly involving a badger baiting event. In the context of the time, "badger baiting" was a cruel and illegal blood sport where dogs were set upon a badger, often placed in a confined space or pit, resulting in a fight between the dogs and the badger. This activity was unfortunately popular in certain areas despite being prohibited. The aquatint may depict a scene capturing the ambiance and participants involved in this illicit activity, showing a few spectators gathered around a badger baiting event. These artworks, while reflecting aspects of rural life and sporting activities of the time, may also shed light on the social attitudes towards animal welfare during the early 19th century. It's essential to recognize that while these historical depictions might showcase cultural practices of the past, activities like badger baiting are considered inhumane and are rightly prohibited today due to their cruelty to animals.
