- Long View Etch -
This detail from Wenceslas Hollar's etching
Long View of London, showing the theater district on
the south bank and, across the Thames, the location of the
Blackfriars. Hollar has reversed the names of the two
theaters: what he calls Bear Baiting is the Globe, and
vice-versa. (Bear baiting was a gambling sport in which a
bear tied to a stake was set on by dogs; the fight was to
the death.
