EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1980s, a time when circuses were still a popular form of entertainment. In this image, we witness one of the performing elephants of the renowned Bell Vue Circus during a rehearsal. The sheer power and grace of these majestic creatures are on full display as this particular elephant kneels over one of its trainers. The scene is both awe-inspiring and slightly nerve-wracking, as we can only imagine the trust and bond that must exist between trainer and animal for such an act to take place. The mid-adult woman in the frame adds an element of human connection to this otherwise extraordinary moment. As we reflect on this photograph, it serves as a reminder of the unique relationships formed between humans and animals in the world of circus entertainment. It also prompts us to consider how much has changed since then in terms of our understanding and treatment of animals in captivity. Whether you have fond memories attending circuses or simply appreciate glimpses into history through photography, this print captures a significant era where animal actors like these elephants played central roles in captivating audiences worldwide.
