EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A stunt that ended badly" captures a moment of sheer recklessness and danger. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, this color lithograph tells a story of foolishness and its consequences. In the image, we witness a barber in Germany who has made a foolhardy bet to shave a lion tamer inside the animal's cage. Little did he know that his audacious act would lead to grave injuries as the lions attacked him mercilessly. The scene is filled with tension as onlookers watch in horror, realizing the risky nature of this spectacle. Published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on March 12,1911, this artwork serves as a reminder of human bravado and its limits when faced with wild animals. It speaks to our fascination with dangerous stunts and our desire for thrill-seeking experiences. The composition beautifully captures the essence of German culture during that time period while highlighting both bravery and folly. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to reflect upon past events while appreciating art's ability to preserve historical moments. As we gaze upon this striking image, let it serve as a cautionary tale against taking unnecessary risks and remind us that sometimes even seemingly harmless acts can have dire consequences.
