EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the astonishing spectacle of Tomlin's Flea Circus! In this image from the 1960s, Professor Tomlin, the enigmatic ringmaster, feeds his tiny performers with a drop of his own blood from his arm. The fleas, seemingly entranced by the scent, leap eagerly to the offering, their miniature legs working in perfect unison. The foreground of the photograph reveals a collection of intricately crafted equipment, designed to showcase the fleas' remarkable abilities. From tightrope walking on thin wires to pedaling miniature bicycles, these intrepid insects defy all expectations. Their agility and coordination are a testament to the magical world of the flea circus. As the audience looks on in awe, the professor skillfully manipulates his tiny charges, creating an atmosphere of wonder and delight. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its ability to transport us back to a time when the extraordinary was commonplace, and the impossible became reality within the confines of a traveling tent. The flea circus, a curious relic of the past, continues to fascinate and intrigue us, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of human history and our endless quest for entertainment. This image, captured in the 1960s, stands as a testament to the power of the imagination and the enduring allure of the circus.
