EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of respite and playfulness backstage at the London Hippodrome during an extraordinary performance by Herr Julius Seeth and his lions in 1903. Seeth, a renowned lion tamer, is seen here enjoying a swing boat ride with some of his trained lions in the arena. The image exudes an aura of wonder and amazement, as the lions, usually associated with raw power and wildness, appear obediently seated in the boats, seemingly enjoying the ride. The London Hippodrome, a popular entertainment venue, was known for its extravagant shows that showcased a blend of human and animal acts. Seeth's act, featuring his fearless interaction with lions, was a crowd favorite. The date on this photograph is October 19, 1903, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past of theatrical entertainment and the unique bond between man and beast. This photograph is a testament to the skill and dedication of Seeth and his lions, and serves as a reminder of the magical world of live shows that once captivated audiences in London.
