EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the extraordinary scene of English hairdresser Margaret Seyers calmly tending to the hair of a circus lion tamer, under the watchful eyes of her majestic animals. The photo was taken in Hove, Sussex by an anonymous 20th-century English photographer and is now part of a private collection. In this remarkable image, Margaret Seyers displays both skill and fearlessness as she works on the wild manes of her unusual customer. With an air of unflappable sangfroid, she effortlessly navigates between grooming human hair and handling powerful lions. The juxtaposition between her delicate touch and the untamed presence of these magnificent creatures is truly awe-inspiring. The setting itself adds to the intrigue; Hove, Sussex provides a picturesque backdrop for this unique encounter. As Margaret goes about her work with composure and calmness, it's evident that she has established a deep bond with these mesmerizing animals. This photograph not only showcases Margaret's exceptional talent but also offers us a glimpse into an era when circuses were at their peak in entertainment value. It serves as a testament to the courage and resilience displayed by performers like lion tamers who risked their lives for our amusement. With its historical significance and artistic composition, this image invites viewers to ponder upon themes such as bravery, trust between humans and animals, as well as cultural perspectives on entertainment during that time period.
