About the Item

Handcolored aquatint made after Henry Alken by J. Clark. Published by T. McLean, London, 1820. The antique aquatint titled 'Bull Baiting' by J. Clark in 1820 depicts a scene related to the now-outlawed and inhumane practice of bull-baiting, a form of entertainment that involved setting dogs upon a tethered or confined bull. During bull-baiting events, the bull would be restrained while dogs were unleashed to attack and harass it. This cruel spectacle was considered a form of entertainment in certain regions during earlier centuries, despite being condemned for its brutality. The aquatint may portray the setting of a bull-baiting event, showing spectators gathered around the spectacle, with dogs attacking the restrained bull. Such artworks, while reflecting historical aspects of rural life and entertainment, also shed light on the societal attitudes towards animal welfare during the early 19th century. It's important to emphasize that bull-baiting and similar forms of animal cruelty have been rightfully banned and are universally condemned due to their inhumane nature and the suffering inflicted upon the animals involved. Today, such activities are considered unacceptable and illegal in many countries.
