EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sarah Bernhardt's eccentricity and love for exotic pets. The cartoonist skillfully depicts a small boy cowering in fear as he comes face to face with Sarah's pet tiger. The engraving from "The Strand Magazine" London, dated back to 1891, showcases the actress' unique personality and penchant for the extraordinary.
Sarah Bernhardt, born Henriette Rosine Bernard in 1844, was renowned for her exceptional talent on stage but also for her unconventional lifestyle offstage. Her choice of having a pet tiger reflects her daring and adventurous spirit that set her apart from other celebrities of her time.
In this satirical drawing, the terrified expression on the boy's face contrasts with the nonchalant demeanor of Sarah's Tiger, emphasizing the danger and unpredictability associated with wild animals. The detailed illustration technique brings out every aspect of this historical moment, capturing both the fear and fascination surrounding Sarah Bernhardt's unusual choice in pets.
As we delve into this piece of art from over a century ago, we are reminded of a time when boundaries were pushed and norms were challenged by individuals like Sarah Bernhardt who lived life on their own terms. This print is not just a visual representation but a window into history where creativity and audacity reigned supreme.
