EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a performing animal troupe in Germany, providing a glimpse into the world of entertainment and education during that era. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Die Welt in Bildern, an illustrated publication by Braun & Schneider. In this lively scene, we see various animals showcasing their talents to an enthralled audience at a fairground. A dog performs tricks with precision while camels, muzzled for safety reasons perhaps, add an exotic touch to the spectacle. A bear captivates onlookers with its impressive strength and agility. However, beneath the surface of this vibrant display lies a deeper conversation about cruelty towards animals. The image raises questions about the ethics behind using captive creatures for human amusement. It serves as both educational material and a reminder of our responsibility towards these sentient beings. The German School's meticulous engraving technique brings every detail to life - from the expressions on spectators' faces to the intricate patterns adorning each animal's harness or costume. This print offers us not only visual delight but also historical insight into European entertainment practices of yesteryears. As we observe this snapshot from history through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us reflect upon how far society has come in terms of animal welfare since then while acknowledging that there is still progress to be made.
