EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this scene from the Victorian era's most popular circus performance! In this exquisite cartoon print from 1883, we find a charismatic ringmaster, William Holland, skillfully managing two magnificent performing elephants. The theatre manager, known for his long, thin moustache, stands tall and proud atop the circus ring, directing the show with an air of authority. The elephants, adorned with intricate gold and red decorations, display their incredible agility and intelligence as they balance precariously on tiny platforms, bowing gracefully to the cheering audience. The elephants' expressive eyes and playful trunks add a touch of whimsy and delight to the scene. This cartoon, titled "Entracte," was published on September 22, 1883, and offers a glimpse into the magical world of the 1880s circus. The wide-brimmed top hats of the onlookers and the elegant Victorian attire of the performers transport us back in time, allowing us to experience the thrill and wonder of a bygone era. William Holland, the ringmaster, is a master of his craft, commanding the attention of the audience with his confident demeanor and impeccable showmanship. The harmony between the ringmaster and his performing elephants creates an unforgettable spectacle that continues to captivate and inspire generations.
