EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of "The Circus at Covent Garden Theatre" in London, UK, in 1886. The image showcases a variety of thrilling acts that delighted audiences during this era. In the foreground, we see one of the Arab Acrobats suspended mid-air, displaying incredible strength and agility. Their poised stance reflects their mastery over gravity and captivates our attention. Moving towards the center, Mddle. Gisella mesmerizes spectators with her performance on the Slack Wire. Balancing effortlessly on this thin rope requires immense skill and concentration, leaving viewers in awe of her gracefulness. To the right, Jennie O'Brien and Mr. George Gilbert steal the spotlight as they execute a breathtaking double act on two barebacked horses. Their synchronized movements demonstrate both trust and precision as they navigate through intricate routines. Fraulein Eichlerette takes center stage next with her troupe of monkeys, showcasing their playful antics to an amused audience. This whimsical addition adds an element of charm to this enchanting scene. Lastly, Miss Jennie O'Brien demonstrates her marksmanship by firing a rifle with pigeons perched upon it – a daring feat that combines danger with beauty. This vintage engraving not only captures these remarkable performances but also serves as a window into Victorian-era arts and culture. Its retro style evokes nostalgia for a time when circus spectacles were highly anticipated events filled with wonder
