In this print titled "Circus Animals: Lion Down The Law!: Solicitor John Benham found the legal life just didn't come up to scratch. . . So he's become a lion-tamer instead! He's swapped the bowler and brolly for the sawdust of the circus ring" we witness an extraordinary transformation. Solicitor John Benham, dissatisfied with his legal career, has followed his heart's desire and embarked on a thrilling journey as a lion-tamer. Benham reveals that throughout his legal training, he yearned for a life under the big top. His spare time was dedicated to immersing himself in circuses, fueling his passion for this unconventional world. Now, standing beside Lenny, a two-year-old lion at Seaburn Zoo in Sunderland, Benham declares that life with these majestic creatures is everything he had ever dreamed of. The image captures both courage and determination radiating from Benham as he confidently interacts with Lenny. Gone are the formalities of solicitors' attire; instead, he embraces the ruggedness of circus life. The transition from courtroom to circus ring symbolizes not only personal fulfillment but also an escape from societal expectations. This photograph transports us back to April 1977 when dreams were pursued fearlessly and passions were embraced wholeheartedly. It serves as a reminder that sometimes our true calling lies beyond conventional paths and that it takes bravery to follow one's heart into uncharted territories. As we gaze
