EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this image of Barnum's Circus in the seaside town of Ramsgate, England, in the year 1899. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of fun, excitement, and wonder. The circus tent, adorned with stripes and banners, looms large against the backdrop of the town's pleasure gardens. The air is filled with the sweet scent of popcorn and cotton candy, mingling with the tantalizing aroma of roasting hot dogs and freshly baked pastries. The sound of laughter and joyful screams echo through the air as children scamper around, their eyes wide with wonder and delight. In the foreground, a majestic lion, regally posing on a rocky outcropping, gazes out at the crowd with a curious and slightly mischievous expression. The lions, along with other exotic animals, were a main attraction of the circus, drawing in throngs of spectators who marveled at their strength, agility, and beauty. The circus, a beloved institution during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, provided a much-needed escape from the monotony of daily life. It was a place where people could come together to experience the thrill of the unknown, to be entertained, and to create cherished memories. This photograph, with its intriguing details and rich history, invites us to imagine the stories of the people and animals who once gathered here over a century ago.
