The Dancing Bear is a beautiful handcoloured engraving by Henry Meyer after a painting by W.F. Witherington. Published in London in 1828, it captures a lively street performance. A bear in mid-dance lifts its hat while turning toward its handler. The man raises a stick to guide the bear, while another musician plays a pipe and tabor beside them. A young boy points toward a dog in coat and breeches and a monkey sitting on the ground. Around them, men, women, and children react with amusement and awe. Each figure adds energy and emotion to the scene.<\/p>\n
This dancing bear engraving measures 50 x 64 cm and remains in very good condition. It offers a vivid glimpse into early 19th-century London life, perfect for collectors of historical art and animal prints. VAT: Margingoods, no VAT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
