EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1902, showcases the extraordinary acrobatic abilities of a baboon named Herr Grais at the renowned London Hippodrome. The image finds Herr Grais in mid-performance, expertly balancing atop a wheelbarrow as his agile companion, also dressed in a tightrope walker's outfit, skillfully navigates a hoop suspended above. The London Hippodrome, a popular venue for variety shows during the early 20th century, was known for its eclectic mix of acts, and the inclusion of performing animals, such as baboons, was a common draw for audiences. In this photograph, Herr Grais and his acrobatic baboon companion demonstrate the remarkable bond between man and beast, as well as the incredible athleticism and dexterity of these fascinating creatures. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the world of turn-of-the-century entertainment and the unique acts that graced the stages of London's most beloved theatres.
