EDITORS COMMENTS
This early 20th century photograph captures the enchanting and intriguing figure of Mr Bengal Tiger, a member of the Zoological Misfitz, a unique menagerie of anthropomorphized animals. The majestic Bengal Tiger, with its striking orange coat and black stripes, is the epitome of wild power and grace. Yet, in this image, it defies the expectations of its natural form, adorned in human clothing and accessories. Mr Bengal Tiger is dressed in an ornate turban, a sash slung across his broad chest, and boots with spurs on his paws. He clutches a sword in one paw, exuding an aura of regal authority. The juxtaposition of the tiger's animalistic features and the human clothing creates a mesmerizing and thought-provoking image. The Zoological Misfitz was a traveling menagerie that showcased anthropomorphized animals, blurring the lines between the human and animal worlds. These performances were a popular form of entertainment during the early 1900s, and the photographs of the performers offer a fascinating glimpse into the imagination and creativity of the time. This photograph by Terry Parker, available through Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring allure of the exotic and the extraordinary. It invites us to ponder the relationship between humans and animals, and the power of imagination to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
