EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1922, we are transported to the vibrant land of India. The image showcases a Punjabi native gracefully dancing alongside his loyal companion, a bear. This powerful piece of art was captured by Robert Chisham and featured in the renowned book "Peoples of All Nations, Their Life Today and the Story of Their Past". The photo evokes mixed emotions as it sheds light on a dark aspect of history - animal abuse and cruelty that was prevalent during that era. Despite this troubling backdrop, there is an undeniable beauty in the man's movements as he effortlessly glides across the frame with his furry partner. Chisham's composition skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the spirit and culture of both man and beast. The full-length portrait allows us to appreciate their intricate costumes while highlighting their connection through dance. This image serves as a reminder of how art can be used to document historical moments, even those marred by controversy. It invites us to reflect on our past actions towards animals while appreciating the artistic expression within different cultures around the world. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness a poignant moment between man and nature unfold before our eyes.
