EDITORS COMMENTS
In this and vibrant print, we are transported back to the lively streets of London in 1821. The iconic duo of Tom and Jerry, known for their mischievous adventures, take center stage as they indulge in a peculiar spectacle at the Westminster Pit. The focal point of this scene is none other than the phenomenon Monkey himself - Jacco Macacco. With his agile movements and cheeky demeanor, he captivates both Tom and Jerry, as well as the enthusiastic audience surrounding them. As we delve into this snapshot of history through art, it becomes evident that there is more to this image than meets the eye. It sheds light on a darker aspect of society during that time - cruelty towards animals. The presence of pit bull terriers hints at a baiting event taking place within the pit. However, let us not dwell solely on these distressing elements but instead appreciate the skillful execution by Isaac Robert Cruikshank and George Cruikshank in bringing Life in London by Pierce Egan to life through colored aquatint. This intriguing print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection serves as a reminder that art has always been an avenue for capturing both beauty and societal issues alike.
