EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of both anguish and anxiety as a horse performs an extraordinary high dive. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection. The photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "The Clever Animals Picture Book" published by Ward Lock around 1945. In the midst of the mid-20th century, this peculiar scene showcases several animals from different backgrounds coming together to showcase their skills. The horse's daring act evokes feelings of astonishment and fear, highlighting the exploitation and attitudes towards animals during that era. As the horse takes its leap into danger, one can't help but feel a mix of admiration for its intelligence and concern for its well-being. The trainer's presence adds another layer to this narrative, emphasizing the learning process behind such tricks in circuses. The composition perfectly captures the height at which this remarkable feat takes place, instilling a sense of awe in viewers who witness it. It serves as a reminder that even amidst unusual circumstances, animals possess incredible abilities that often go unnoticed or unappreciated. This thought-provoking photograph not only offers us a glimpse into history but also raises questions about our relationship with animals and how they have been exploited throughout time.
