EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tragic scene in a theatre in Cleveland, Tennessee" transports us back to a shocking moment in history. Taken by the French School in the 20th century, this colour litho captures an unforgettable incident that unfolded on stage. In this heart-stopping image, a tame lion unexpectedly leaps into the audience and seizes a child. The illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Journal on May 29,1910, adding to its historical significance. The horrified expressions of the shocked audience members are frozen in time as they witness this unimaginable tragedy unfold before their eyes. The lion tamer desperately tries to regain control over his once docile companion. This powerful photograph not only showcases the performing arts but also highlights the unpredictable nature of wild animals and their potential danger when brought into human spaces for entertainment purposes. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with wildlife and our simultaneous vulnerability when confronted with it. Located in Cleveland, Tennessee, this tragic event left an indelible mark on both those present at that fateful performance and subsequent generations who have come across this haunting image. As we gaze upon it today, we cannot help but feel sympathy for all involved - from the terrified child being carried off by the lion to the shocked spectators witnessing such horror unfold right before them. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are granted access to these poignant moments captured through artistry and preserved for posterity's sake.
