EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from 1909, a lion-tamer is seen giving his menagerie a unique tour of Dusseldorf, Germany. The lion, tethered but still wild and powerful, sits in the passenger seat of an open-top car, its eyes fixed on the bustling city streets below. The lion-tamer, dressed in traditional circus attire, appears amused by the scene, while his assistant looks on with a mix of awe and apprehension. However, the idyllic moment was not to last. The authorities, concerned for the safety of the populace, were not amused by this unconventional sightseeing excursion. Before long, the lion-tamer received a hefty fine for endangering the public. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, when the boundaries between entertainment and danger were more blurred than they are today. The image is a reminder of the thrill and excitement that came with attending a circus or fairground, where the line between show and spectacle was often indistinguishable. Despite the potential danger, the lion seems to be enjoying the ride, its ears perked up as it takes in the sights and sounds of the city. The photograph captures a moment of both wonder and risk, a testament to the allure of the wild and the enduring appeal of the circus. This historical image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of circuses, animals, and the human fascination with the exotic and the dangerous. It is a reminder of a time when the lines between entertainment and danger were more blurred than they are today, and when the thrill of the show was worth the risk.
