EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the era of grand spectacles and daring performances. The image features the renowned French entertainer, La Goulue, or Louise Weber, and her husband, an animal tamer, as they bravely grapple with a puma in its cage. Dressed in elegant Victorian attire, La Goulue, with her expressive face and confident demeanor, captivates the audience's attention, while her husband, with a determined expression and firm grip, ensures the safety of all involved. The wild puma, with its fierce eyes and powerful muscles, adds an element of danger and excitement to the scene. La Goulue, born in 1866, was a celebrated artist and performer, known for her role as the can-can dancer in the Moulin Rouge's first production of "Folies Bergère" in 1889. Her husband, a skilled animal trainer, accompanied her in various performances, showcasing their unique act that combined music, dance, and the raw power of wild animals. The couple's daring performances were a sensation, attracting large crowds and earning them widespread acclaim. This photograph, taken between 1870 and 1929, offers a glimpse into the world of entertainment during the Belle Époque era, a time when artists and performers pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable and captivated audiences with their daring acts. The image is a testament to the courage, skill, and showmanship of La Goulue and her husband, making it an invaluable piece of history in the annals of entertainment.
