EDITORS COMMENTS
Feeding Time at the Flea Circus: A Peek into the Unusual World of Professor Tomlin and His Miniature Performers (1960s) Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and witness the extraordinary sight of Feeding Time at the Flea Circus! In this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era of curiosity and wonder, where the smallest of creatures took center stage. Professor Tomlin, the enigmatic ringmaster, cradles his unique troupe of performers on the crook of his arm. Their tiny bodies, harnessed with intricate wires, seem to dance in anticipation as they eagerly drink from the professor's veins. The fleas, with their beady eyes and unquenchable thirst, relish the taste of human blood, their tiny legs working in unison to extract every last drop. The wires, once thought to be their harnesses, now appear more like lifelines, connecting them to their human counterpart. This bizarre yet fascinating scene is a testament to the ingenuity and curiosity of the human spirit, as well as the enduring allure of the circus. This photograph, taken in the 1960s, offers a glimpse into the historical world of flea circuses, where parasites became performers, and the line between entertainer and audience was blurred. While the practice of using fleas in such a manner may seem strange to us today, it serves as a reminder of the captivating and often peculiar ways in which humans have sought to entertain one another throughout history.
