EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The dramas of the menagerie, an imprudent spectator bitten by an angry tiger, near Zurich" transports us back to a dramatic moment in history. The image depicts a chaotic scene within a circus tent, where a daring spectator finds himself in the jaws of an enraged tiger. Painted with vivid colors and intricate details, this colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame captures the intensity and danger of this wild encounter. The crowd surrounding the spectacle is frozen in shock and horror as they witness this chilling event unfold before their eyes. Men and women dressed in elaborate costumes stand alongside zookeepers and tamers, all gripped by fear for both the injured man's life and their own safety. Blood stains on his clothes indicate that he has already suffered severe injuries from the fierce grip of the tiger's teeth. This artwork not only showcases the power and unpredictability of these magnificent creatures but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with danger and our complex relationship with animals. It offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century entertainment culture while raising questions about ethics, animal welfare, and human curiosity. "The dramas of the menagerie" is more than just an illustration; it is a window into history that sparks contemplation about our interactions with wildlife, our responsibility towards them, as well as our own mortality.
