EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable moment in history - a female lion tamer fearlessly commanding the attention of her majestic beasts. The vibrant colors of this lithograph by Jules Arsene Garnier bring to life the excitement and allure of the 19th-century circus. Dressed in an elaborate costume, the lion tamer exudes confidence as she stands amidst a backdrop of wild animals. Her presence is both commanding and serene, as she delicately strokes one of her lions with a placid expression on her face. This image captures the essence of a bygone era, evoking feelings of nostalgia for those who long for simpler times. The historical significance cannot be overlooked, as this lithograph was originally created as an illustration for Hugues Le Roux's book "Les Jeux Du Cirque et La Vie Foraine" in 1889. It offers us a glimpse into the world of circus performers and their unique bond with these powerful creatures. The image speaks volumes about strength, bravery, and dedication required to train such magnificent animals. The whip held firmly in hand symbolizes control while also serving as a reminder that these are untamed beings capable of great danger. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness this extraordinary woman defying societal norms and embracing her passion for adventure.
