EDITORS COMMENTS
Concert Des Chats" (The Concert of Cats) is an intriguing historical snapshot of an unusual and entertaining feature of the Foire de Saint-Germain, a popular fair held in Paris, France, during the mid-19th century. This photograph, taken circa 1850, depicts a monkey giving a signal to a group of cats, who in response, let out a chorus of miaows. The Foire de Saint-Germain, known for its vibrant atmosphere and eclectic mix of attractions, drew large crowds from all walks of life. One of its most unique and intriguing acts was the "Concert Des Chats," where cats were trained to respond to the monkey's signal, creating a surprising and delightful musical experience for onlookers. In this photograph, the monkey, perched atop a wooden stage, holds a small stick in its hand, ready to give the signal. The cats, arranged in neat rows below, sit attentively, their ears pricked and eyes focused on the monkey. The moment the monkey strikes the stick against a block, the cats let out a collective miaow, creating a harmonious sound that echoed through the fairgrounds. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the history of animal training and the role of entertainment in 19th-century society. It is a reminder of the simple joys and curiosities that have long captivated and delighted audiences, and serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the unusual and the unexpected. The "Concert Des Chats" was just one of many fascinating acts that made the Foire de Saint-Germain a must-visit destination for Parisians and tourists alike. This photograph, taken over a century and a half ago, continues to capture the imagination and delight viewers, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the power of animals to entertain and captivate.
