EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph by Joseph Strutt, titled "Medieval Trained Animals," showcases a fascinating collection of entertainments from England's past. The image is filled with an array of intriguing scenes, each featuring animals skillfully trained to perform various tricks and feats. At the top, a hare stands on its hind legs, holding a tabor drum in its paws, while a musician plays a tabor in the background. The hare's agility and ability to mimic human behavior are on full display. Moving on to the middle section, we find a juggler expertly balancing objects while a monkey tumbles and plays the role of an acrobat, demonstrating their incredible agility and coordination. In the lower portion of the print, a monkey rides atop a muzzled bear, acting as a jockey in a bizarre and intriguing display of animal training. The bear, despite its size and strength, remains still and obedient, showcasing the remarkable bond between trainer and animal. Lastly, a cock stands proudly on stilts, dancing to the music of a tabor and pipes. The lively and energetic performance of the rooster adds a playful and entertaining touch to this collection of medieval trained animals. Joseph Strutt's "Sports and Pastimes of the People of England," published in 1876 by Chatto and Windus in London, offers a unique glimpse into the world of medieval entertainment, showcasing the remarkable abilities of animals and their trainers.
