EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing of bear baiting from the Luttrell Psalter transports us back to the 14th century, a time when such brutal forms of entertainment were unfortunately common. The illuminated manuscript commissioned by Sir Geoffrey Luttrell, lord of the manor of Irnham in Lincolnshire, provides us with a glimpse into the dark and violent past. In this intricate artwork, we see a black bear being pitted against other animals in a cruel and barbaric spectacle. The detailed engravings capture the intensity and brutality of the bear fight, highlighting the harsh realities faced by these majestic creatures for human amusement. The contrast between light and shadow in this black-and-white illustration adds depth and drama to the scene, emphasizing the ferocity of the confrontation. The skillful craftsmanship displayed in this illumination manuscript showcases both artistic talent and historical significance. As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of how far society has come in terms of animal welfare and ethical treatment. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared responsibility to protect and respect all living beings, regardless of species or status.
