EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases an advert for Astleys Grand Juvenile Fetes and Holiday Entertainments. The image, preserved in a private collection, takes us back to a time when entertainment was truly grand and enchanting. Featuring prominently is M Laurent Franconi, a renowned performer who captivated audiences with his extraordinary talents. Alongside him, we see Horse Blanche, an impressive creature that symbolizes strength and elegance. The advert promises thrilling bullfighting spectacles that would surely leave spectators on the edge of their seats. Adding to the allure are pygmy ponies, miniature marvels that must have delighted both young and old alike. A bronze horse stands tall amidst this vibrant scene, representing the beauty of these majestic creatures. The advertisement hints at a world filled with excitement and wonder - where horses race freely across fields and stallions exude power as they gallop through open meadows. It evokes images of wildlife animals roaming untamed landscapes alongside domesticated farm animals. While this print may be centuries old, it continues to capture our imagination today. It serves as a reminder of how advertising has always sought to transport us into realms beyond our everyday lives - inviting us to experience moments of joy and awe in the midst of mundane routines. Bridgeman Images' preservation of this historical artwork ensures that its magic endures for generations to come.
