William Holbrook Beard (1824-1900) was a 19th-century American artist, known for his humorous depictions of animals engaged in human activities. Long before The Grateful Dead, William Holbrook’s Dancing Bears were entertaining art fans, but these satirical characters were more than just cute and colorful mascots. Beard’s animals are symbolic of culture and often meant to be a critique of human behavior. Famous works like Wall Street: Bears & Bulls and The Bear Dance (meant to symbolize Wall Street brokers celebrating financial gains) exemplify his wit and artistic skill.
