Bars Beziers Cage Circus Director Lion Priest Prudently Rosalie Unconventional Weds 1928

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1928 at the Circus Bugleone in Beziers, France, the unconventional wedding ceremony of Joseph Bugleone, the circus director, and Rosalie Van Been unfolds within the confines of a lion's cage. The image, a testament to the couple's daring spirit and the unique customs of the circus world, has been preserved in this stunning print from Mary Evans Prints Online. Joseph Bugleone, a vision in his top hat and tails, stands confidently in the center of the cage, surrounded by a menagerie of lions. His bride, Rosalie Van Been, dressed in a flowing white gown, approaches him with a radiant smile, her hands clasped in front of her. The ceremony is officiated by a priest, who prudently remains outside the cage, performing the nuptials through the bars. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, when the circus was a place of wonder and excitement, where the boundaries between the human world and the natural world were blurred. The lion's cage, typically a symbol of danger and fear, is transformed into a romantic and otherworldly setting for this unconventional wedding. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of the circus and the unique traditions that once defined it. The image's historical significance, coupled with its visual appeal, makes it a must-have for any collection of circus memorabilia or for those with an interest in the history of France and European culture. The print itself is of exceptional quality, with rich colors and intricate details that bring the scene to life. The image is a reminder of the power of love and the lengths people will go to celebrate it, even in the most unexpected of places. This photograph is a true treasure, and a reminder of the magic and wonder that the circus once brought to the world.
