EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of "Barnum and Baileys Show (engraving)" takes us back to the enchanting world of the 19th-century circus. The image, captured by an English School artist, showcases a mesmerizing spectacle that unfolded at Addison Road Station in London. As we delve into this historical snapshot, our eyes are immediately drawn to the grand procession led by majestic elephants and camels. The animals' presence evokes a sense of awe and wonderment among spectators who have gathered eagerly to witness this extraordinary event. Amongst the crowd, we can spot individuals with deformities from faraway lands like Borneo and Orissa. These so-called "freaks" add an element of curiosity to the scene, challenging societal norms and provoking mixed reactions from onlookers. The arrival at Addison Road Station marks a significant moment as it signifies the commencement of Barnum and Baileys Show in London's Olympia. As residents watch with intrigue, they catch glimpses of performers such as Oguri - a Japanese armless girl - showcasing her remarkable talents. In this visual narrative, Bridgeman Images beautifully captures not only the diverse array of wildlife animals but also highlights how Barnum and Baileys Show brought together people from all walks of life for an unforgettable experience. This print serves as a testament to the timeless allure that circuses hold over our collective imagination throughout history.
