EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print, titled "Zazel, c. 1877" captures the essence of a fearless performer from the 19th century. The photograph showcases Rosa Richter, known by her stage name Zazel, who made history as the first human cannonball. With an air of confidence and grace, Zazel stands in her striking costume, ready to defy gravity. The image transports us back to a time when Victorian circus acts enthralled audiences with their daring feats. Zazel's youthful energy shines through as she gazes directly at the camera, exuding both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. The photographer skillfully captures every detail of this remarkable acrobat - from her three-quarter-length pose to the intricate folds of her costume. The carte de visite format adds an intimate touch to this portrait, making it feel like a personal memento rather than a mere spectacle. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph holds historical significance as it immortalizes Zazel's groundbreaking achievement. Launched into fame by William Leonard Hunt's ingenious spring-style cannon at London's Royal Aquarium in 1877, she later joined P. T Barnum Circus on tour. As we admire this timeless image today, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with extraordinary performers who push boundaries and challenge what is possible. This photograph serves as a testament to Zazel's courage and determination that continue to inspire generations even after more than a century has passed since she took flight through the skies as the original human cannonball.
