EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Sampson and Delilah," was taken by B.W. Kilburn in Littleton, New Hampshire, USA, in the year 1896. The image depicts a brave woman, dressed in a Victorian costume, standing inside a cage with a majestic lion named Sampson. The lion, with its powerful build and piercing gaze, appears both wild and regal. The iron bars of the cage serve as a reminder of the dangerous nature of the animal, while the woman's calm demeanor and confident pose showcase her control and connection with Sampson. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of circus entertainment during the late 1800s in America. At a time when people were drawn to the thrill of witnessing exotic animals up close, performers like this woman, who dared to enter the cage with wild beasts, were considered heroes. The image also highlights the role of photographers like Kilburn, who captured these moments in time, preserving them for future generations to marvel at. The photograph's title, "Sampson and Delilah," is a reference to the biblical story of Samson and Delilah, where Samson, a strong man, is betrayed by Delilah, who cuts his hair, leading to his downfall. In this photograph, however, the roles are reversed, with the woman, Delilah, asserting control over the powerful lion, Sampson. This intriguing image invites us to ponder the themes of power, control, and the human fascination with the wild and the unknown.
