EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Louis Wain takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the "Worlds Fair" in Islington, London. The scene is filled with an array of performing animals, each showcasing their unique talents and adding to the excitement of the fair. In the foreground, a young cattrarian lioness gracefully leaps through a hoop held by her trainer. Her powerful presence captivates onlookers as they marvel at her agility and beauty. Nearby, a knife thrower displays his precision skills while aiming at a target with Russell, his faithful tiger companion standing fearlessly beside him. Further into the picture, we witness a snake charmer enchanting a Bengal tiger with his mesmerizing flute melody. The bond between man and beast is evident as Robert skillfully controls this majestic creature. The lions den stands prominently in the background, reminding us of both danger and awe-inspiring bravery exhibited by lion tamers who dare to enter its domain. Monkeys playfully swing from ropes above them, adding an element of mischief to this lively spectacle. This engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects upon our fascination with these extraordinary creatures throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even within bustling city streets like Islington's World Fair, nature's wonders can still be found if we open our eyes to see them.
