EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Amateur Photographers at the Circus, c.1886' captures a delightful moment in the annals of photographic history. The image shows a group of 21 eager and excited amateur photographers, all dressed in their Sunday best, gathered at the entrance of a visiting circus. The circus, an epitome of popular entertainment, had become a popular subject for amateur photographers of the late 19th century. The photographers, all holding their bulky cameras and tripods, are seen preparing to indulge in their beloved hobby. The circus tent, with its colorful banners and flags, looms in the background, adding a sense of anticipation and excitement to the scene. The photographers are seen adjusting their equipment, checking their settings, and no doubt, discussing the best angles and compositions for their shots. The engraving, produced by ILN (Illustrated London News), is a testament to the growing popularity of photography as a pastime. With the advent of affordable and portable cameras, photography had become accessible to the masses, and amateur photographers were always on the lookout for interesting subjects and scenes to capture. The circus, with its vibrant and dynamic performances, provided ample opportunities for photographers to showcase their skills and creativity. This historical image not only offers a glimpse into the past, but also highlights the enduring appeal of photography as a means of documenting and preserving memories. The photographers in the image may have been amateurs, but their passion and dedication to their hobby were no less than that of professional photographers of the time. The engraving, produced in 1886, remains an important reminder of the early days of photography and the joy and excitement it brought to people.
