EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history when Henry Bergh, an influential reformer, halted an overcrowded streetcar in New York City to inspect the horses. The wood engraving, created in 1872 by The Granger Collection, showcases the dedication and compassion of Bergh towards animal welfare. Henry Bergh (1811-1888) was a prominent figure during this time period and played a pivotal role in founding the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). This image portrays his commitment to improving the treatment of animals amidst bustling city life. The scene depicted is set against a late 19th-century street backdrop with men and pedestrians observing as Bergh takes action. It offers us a glimpse into Manhattan's past, showcasing not only its vibrant streets but also shedding light on social issues that were prevalent at that time. Bergh's efforts led to groundbreaking reforms regarding animal rights and paved the way for future advancements in this field. This photograph serves as a reminder of his legacy and continues to inspire those who strive for justice and compassion towards all living beings. As we admire this historic wood engraving from 1872, let us reflect on how far society has come since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done in ensuring humane treatment for all creatures.
