EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the unique and intriguing spectacle of performing polar bears at Carl Hagenbeck's Wonder Zoo and Big Circus in Germany, circa 1914. In this image, two polar bears engage in a playful and entertaining act as one bear rides a tricycle, skillfully propelled forward by the gentle shove of his companion. The bears' expressions convey a sense of joy and camaraderie, making this image a delightful glimpse into the history of circus entertainment. Carl Hagenbeck was a pioneering figure in the world of zoos and circuses, known for his innovative approaches to animal enrichment and training. His Wonder Zoo and Big Circus, established in 1907, were renowned for their impressive menagerie of animals and thrilling performances. The inclusion of polar bears in the circus act was a testament to Hagenbeck's groundbreaking methods, as polar bears were not typically featured in such performances due to their size and strength. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily recreation of these magnificent animals at the zoo and circus. The image is rich in historical significance, providing a window into a bygone era of circus history and the unique relationship between humans and animals. The use of a tricycle in the act adds an element of surprise and whimsy, making this photograph a must-have for anyone with an interest in circus history, animal behavior, or the history of Germany.
