EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts George Sanger (1825-1911), a renowned English showman and circus proprietor, in his element during the 1880s. The image, created by an unidentified artist around 1881, captures Sanger's playful and charismatic personality. He is shown wearing the traditional attire of a circus ringmaster: a top hat adorned with a white band and a bowtie, accompanied by a long white coat and a cane. Sanger's expressive face is filled with excitement and anticipation as he raises a whip, signaling the start of the show. Surrounding him are a group of clowns, each dressed in colorful costumes and playful expressions, adding to the lively atmosphere of the circus. The ringmaster's top hat sits atop a wooden ring in the center of the arena, emphasizing the importance of his role in the production. George Sanger was a pioneer in the circus industry, known for his innovative shows and impressive animal acts. He began his career as a performer in the late 1840s and went on to establish his own circus in 1852. Over the years, he expanded his business, eventually owning several circuses and traveling extensively throughout Europe and North America. This caricature not only provides a glimpse into the world of Victorian-era circuses but also showcases the charisma and energy of George Sanger, the man behind the spectacle.
