EDITORS COMMENTS
An Unusual Luncheon Party: Lunching with Lions in Shepherds Bush, 1909 This extraordinary photograph captures an intriguing moment from the Imperial International Exhibition held in Shepherds Bush, White City, in 1909. The scene depicts a luncheon party like no other, with twenty adventurous individuals gathered around a large table inside a cage, sharing a meal with four full-grown lions from Bostocks Circus. The Imperial International Exhibition, held from April to October 1909, was a significant cultural and industrial event that showcased the latest advancements and innovations from around the world. This luncheon stunt, a daring display of colonialism and human-animal interaction, was undoubtedly one of the most talked-about attractions of the exhibition. The Edwardian era, marked by its opulence and sense of adventure, is reflected in this image as the guests, dressed in their finest attire, sit calmly and confidently amidst the wild and dangerous creatures. The lions, seemingly tamed, look on curiously as their human companions prepare to dine. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a time when man's fascination with the exotic and the wild was a source of entertainment and wonder. The image also raises questions about the ethics of such displays and the relationship between humans and animals during this period. This photograph, with its historical significance and intriguing narrative, is a testament to the past and a reminder of the unusual and daring stunts that once defined human curiosity and exploration.
