EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the extraordinary spectacle of a Brown Bear making history at the famed Bertram Mills Circus! This photograph, taken at Olympia in December 1951, showcases a large Brown Bear proudly riding a motorcycle during the Silver Jubilee celebration of the circus. The year 1951 marked the 21st anniversary of Bertram Mills' successful tenure at Olympia, and this unique performance added an extra dash of excitement to the festivities. The image, reminiscent of a bygone era, presents a striking contrast between the wild majesty of the Brown Bear and the modern marvel of the motorcycle. The bear's powerful presence is undeniable, as it confidently grips the handlebars with its massive paws, while the motorcycle's metallic gleam and tire tracks in the background add a sense of motion and energy. The Bertram Mills Circus, known for its innovative acts and commitment to animal welfare, had a long-standing reputation for pushing boundaries. This photograph is a testament to the circus's dedication to providing audiences with unforgettable experiences, as well as its ability to seamlessly blend the natural world with human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this historical image, we are transported back to a time when the circus was a cherished institution, and the impossible seemed possible. The Brown Bear's motorcycle ride at the Bertram Mills Circus at Olympia in December 1951 remains an enduring symbol of the extraordinary feats that once captivated generations.
