Jahrmarkt / Fair (colour litho)
8666307 Jahrmarkt / Fair (colour litho) by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) (1856-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: Jahrmarkt. Seit dem Mittelalter suchten die fahrenden Leute besonders gern die Jahrmarkte in den Stadten auf, um dort ihre kleinen Kunste zu zeigen, zu denen vor allem das Vorfuhren dressierter Tiere gehorte. Baren, Affen oder Hunde mussten nach Musikbegleitung muhsam einstudierte, possierlich wirkende Figuren vorfuhren ohne Rucksicht auf die heute mit Recht bekampfte Tierqualerei. Translation: Fair. Since the Middle Ages, wandering people have been particularly fond of going to the annual fairs in the cities to show off their little arts, which mainly included the presentation of trained animals. To the accompaniment of music, bears, monkeys or dogs had to perform painstakingly rehearsed, cute figures without regard to the cruelty to animals that is rightly opposed today.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and experience the magic of a traditional Jahrmarkt or Fair with this vibrant colour litho print by Christophe (Colomb, Georges). The hustle and bustle of the fairground comes to life as wandering people showcase their small arts, including the presentation of trained animals. Bears, monkeys, and dogs dance to music in carefully choreographed routines that captivate audiences.
Dating back to the Middle Ages, annual fairs have been a popular gathering place for entertainers and spectators alike. This print captures the essence of a bygone era when fairs were filled with wonder and excitement. From acrobats performing daring feats to musicians playing lively tunes, there is something for everyone at the Jahrmarkt.
However, it's important to note that while these performances may have been entertaining for some, they also raise ethical questions about animal welfare. The practice of training animals to perform tricks has rightfully come under scrutiny in modern times.
This illustration from Deutsche Kulturbilder offers a glimpse into history and reminds us of the rich cultural heritage preserved in art. Let yourself be transported back in time to a world where fairs were a feast for the senses and an escape from everyday life.
