EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the remarkable Sea Lion named Bonzo is seen performing with his trainer, Zetta Hills, at Bostock and Wombwell's Travelling Circus around 1926. The image showcases the close bond between the trainer and her impressive marine mammal companion. Zetta Hills wears a smart, white uniform with a red trim, adding an air of professionalism to the scene. The background reveals the bustling atmosphere of the travelling circus, with colourful tents, menagerie animals, and excited spectators in the distance. Bonzo, the Sea Lion, is a sight to behold. His sleek, grey coat glistens in the sunlight, and his expressive eyes convey intelligence and curiosity. The Sea Lion is perched on a rocky platform, poised to deliver an impressive act for the audience. His trainer, Zetta, stands beside him, holding a fish as a reward or a training tool. The connection between Zetta and Bonzo is undeniable. Their years of training and dedication to their act have resulted in a beautiful partnership, showcasing the incredible abilities of Sea Lions in the circus setting. The photograph captures a moment of trust, skill, and artistry that transcends the boundaries of the travelling menagerie. Bostock and Wombwell's Travelling Circus was a popular attraction during the early 20th century, offering a diverse range of animal and human acts. The inclusion of Sea Lions like Bonzo in their shows added an extra layer of excitement and wonder for the audiences. This photograph is a testament to the remarkable bond between humans and animals, as well as the rich history of travelling circuses and their unique performers.
