EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, dating back to 1888, transports us to the mesmerizing world of the historic circus, where the boundary between human and beast seemed to blur. The image showcases a brave and skilled circus animal trainer, dressed in a sharp suit and top hat, as he confidently interacts with a majestic female lion. The lion, with its regal posture and piercing gaze, appears to be in a trance-like state, seemingly tamed by the trainer's commanding presence. The circus, a popular form of entertainment during the late 19th century, was known for its thrilling displays of animal acts, and this engraving perfectly encapsulates the raw power and beauty of the relationship between man and beast. The trainer's delicate touch and the lion's trust in him are evident in their body language, making for a truly breathtaking scene. This engraving, imported from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the rich history of the circus and the remarkable bond between humans and animals. The intricate details of the trainer's attire, the lion's mane, and the circus tent in the background add to the authenticity and charm of this historical image. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the awe and wonder that the circus once brought to audiences, and the incredible connection that could be formed between man and the most fearsome of creatures. This engraving is not only a beautiful work of art but also a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of the circus and the extraordinary relationship between a trainer and his lion.
