If you look along the bottom of Figure 3.1a, completed by Wenceslaus Hollar in 1647, you might notice several round-looking structures jutting out of a landscape otherwise made up of smaller-sized houses. One of these is labelled ‘The Globe’, the other ‘Beere bayting’, to signify a space in which bears, bulls, and dogs fought for audience entertainment (in fact, the labels are the wrong way round).
