EDITORS COMMENTS
In this coloured engraving by Isaac Robert and George Cruikshank, we are transported back to the bustling streets of London in 1820. The image depicts a thrilling scene at the Westminster Pit, where Tom and Jerry, two well-known characters from "Life in London" are seen sporting their blunt on the phenomenon monkey, Jacco Macacco. The atmosphere is electric as an eager audience gathers to witness this unique spectacle of animal entertainment. Clad in fashionable clothing of the era, people from all walks of life have come together for a night filled with excitement and anticipation. As the battle commences between Tom and Jerry against Jacco Macacco, tension fills the air. This confrontation between man and primate showcases both cruelty and curiosity towards wildlife animals during that time period. Monkeys swing from ropes above while other wild animals observe from their cages nearby. It is a chaotic yet mesmerizing sight that captures our attention. Through intricate detailing in this finely crafted engraving, we can almost hear the cheers of the crowd and feel their energy reverberating through history. This print serves as a reminder of how different entertainment was centuries ago – highlighting both our fascination with wildlife and our evolving perspectives on animal rights.
