EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from 1595 depicts the remarkable horse named Morocco or Marocco, a wonder of the time that left audiences in awe. The horse, exhibited at the Bell Savage Inn in London, was renowned for its extraordinary abilities to leap on its hind legs and count numbers on dice. Morocco was not an ordinary horse, but a clever and trained animal that captivated the interest of the public. The Savage Inn, a popular establishment in the heart of London, was known for its menagerie of exotic animals, but Morocco was the star attraction. The horse's performance was a sight to behold, with its powerful hind legs propelling it high into the air, landing gracefully back on the ground. The audience, a mix of people from all walks of life, watched in amazement as Morocco counted the numbers on the dice with remarkable accuracy. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the fact that it provides a glimpse into the past, a time when animals were a source of entertainment and wonder. Morocco's abilities were not just a trick, but a testament to the bond between man and animal, and the lengths people went to in order to marvel at the natural world. Banks, the man behind the exhibition, was a shrewd businessman who understood the value of a good show. He traveled the country with his menagerie, bringing exotic animals and performing horses to the masses. Morocco, with its unique abilities, was the crown jewel of his collection, drawing crowds from far and wide. This photograph is a reminder of a time when the world was a little smaller, and the wonders of nature were a source of endless fascination. It is a testament to the power of animals to captivate and inspire us, and to the enduring allure of the past.
