EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Alfred Courbould, titled "What can be done with Wild Horses, Sketches at the Royal Aquarium, Westminster" offers a glimpse into the mesmerizing world of performing animals in 19th-century London. The illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on April 14,1883. In this lively scene, we witness a variety of thrilling acts performed by skilled trainers and their wild horses. From drill exercises to daring stunts, each moment is filled with excitement and awe. The performers showcase their expertise as they skillfully discharge their duties amidst an enthusiastic audience. The sketch captures various characters involved in the spectacle: Sergeant Picca Ninni turning his horse round; Rob White untying knots with precision; Bonito displaying its agility on the tub roller; and Kitty fearlessly riding through a hoop of fire. These remarkable feats are accompanied by other performers such as Cupid and Flora who add charm to the performance. The Royal Aquarium in Westminster serves as an elegant backdrop for these extraordinary displays of horsemanship. Its grandeur enhances the overall ambiance of this unforgettable event. Alfred Courbould's engraving not only immortalizes this unique moment but also provides us with a glimpse into Victorian entertainment culture. It reminds us that even wild creatures can be tamed and trained to perform incredible feats when guided by skilled hands and hearts full of passion for artistry.
