EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from the late 19th century takes us back to a time when circus acts were filled with danger, bravery, and awe-inspiring performances. Titled "Lion Tamer" this colour lithograph showcases an English School masterpiece that has stood the test of time. Intriguingly mysterious, the print captures an animal trainer in his elaborate costume, fearlessly facing a group of wild cats within their cage. The lion tamer's unwavering gaze exudes confidence as he commands these majestic creatures with apparent ease. It is a testament to both his skill and audacity. The Victorian era was known for its love of spectacle and entertainment, and this image perfectly encapsulates that spirit. The poster-like quality transports us to a bygone era where audiences gathered under big tops to witness daring feats such as these. As we admire this historical piece from Peter Newark Historical Pictures' private collection, we cannot help but feel drawn into the world of circuses past. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring life to an otherwise static medium. This photograph serves as a reminder of the incredible bond between man and beast – one built on trust, respect, and sheer determination. It also reminds us of our fascination with danger; how we are captivated by those who dare to face it head-on. Bridgeman Images has once again curated a remarkable piece that not only preserves history but also sparks our imagination about what it means to be truly brave in the face of danger.
