"The Bear Pit at the Zoological Gardens, Regents Park" is a notable engraving created by the artist George Scharf the Elder (1788–1860) and published in 1835. This work captures a vivid scene at the then-new Zoological Gardens in London's Regents Park, which opened to the public in 1828 as the world's first scientific zoo. The engraving, printed by the renowned lithographer Charles Hullmandel (1789–1850), is a significant historical record of early 19th-century zoological exhibitions and reflects the Victorian era's fascination with natural history and exotic wildlife.

George Scharf, born in Bavaria, moved to London in 1816 and became well-known for his detailed and accurate depictions of urban life, events, and social gatherings. His work on "The Bear Pit" is a testament to his keen observational skills and ability to convey the interaction between humans and animals. The engraving shows visitors observing bears in one of the zoo's early animal enclosures, providing insight into the conditions and public attitudes towards animals and entertainment during that period.

Charles Hullmandel's contribution as the printer is also of significance, as he was instrumental in popularizing lithography in England. His printing techniques allowed for the wide dissemination of artworks like Scharf's, making them accessible to a broader audience and contributing to the public's engagement with the arts and sciences.

"The Bear Pit at the Zoological Gardens, Regents Park" not only serves as an important piece of zoological and cultural history but also as a reflection of the collaborative efforts between artist and printer in the 19th century. The work remains an essential reference for those studying the history of zoos, animal welfare, and the intersection of art and natural history in the Victorian era.
