EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the mid-19th century when the enigmatic figure of American trainer Isaac Van Amburgh (1811-1865) ruled the world of animal acts. Van Amburgh, a pioneer in the art of training wild animals, is depicted here in an intimate moment with a lioness and her cubs. The image, circa 1840, captures the essence of the man who dared to tame the most fearsome of beasts, earning him the moniker, "The Lion-Tamer." Isaac Van Amburgh was a sensation during his time, traveling extensively throughout Europe and the United States with his menagerie of exotic animals. His acts were a marvel of showmanship and daring, leaving audiences in awe of his ability to control these magnificent creatures. In this photograph, we see him in a more tender moment, cradling a cub in his arms while the lioness looks on protectively. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in the representation of Van Amburgh's groundbreaking work but also in the insight it provides into the human-animal bond during this era. The image underscores the fascination people had with the natural world and the desire to understand and connect with creatures that were, for many, a source of both fear and wonder. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of animal training and the enduring allure of the wild. It serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring feats that captivated audiences over a century ago and continues to inspire us today.
