Circus Clever Hippodrome Sorts Tricks
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and witness the extraordinary spectacle of canine virtuosity at the Paris Hippodrome in this photograph from the late 1800s. The Hippodrome, a renowned Parisian amusement park, was once home to an astonishing array of acts, and none were more popular than those featuring our four-legged friends. In this photograph, a crowd of onlookers gathers around the circular arena, their eyes fixed on the ring where a troupe of dogs performs a dazzling array of clever tricks. The dogs, dressed in colorful collars and costumes, leap through hoops, balance precariously on tightropes, and even play musical instruments. Their trainers, hidden from view, skillfully manipulate them with whistles, toys, and verbal commands. The Hippodrome, which opened in 1836, was a hub of innovation and entertainment, and the inclusion of dog acts was a testament to its forward-thinking approach. Dog shows had been a popular form of entertainment for centuries, with records dating back to ancient Rome. However, the Hippodrome's production value and scale elevated the art form to new heights. The photograph, taken circa 1880, offers a glimpse into the rich history of animal acts in the circus world. The dogs' playful expressions and the delighted reactions of the audience members transport us back in time, allowing us to experience the wonder and excitement of a bygone era. This image is a reminder that the bond between humans and animals has long been a source of inspiration and delight, and that the circus, with its mixture of the extraordinary and the ordinary, continues to captivate and entertain us to this day.
