EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the raw power and grace of Kumar the Tiger at Chipperfields Circus. Kumar was a popular attraction during the touring shows of Chipperfields Circus, which was known for its impressive menagerie of animals and world-class performers. The circus, founded by Paul Kaye in 1871, had a rich history of entertaining audiences across Britain and beyond. In this image, Kumar the tiger is seen in his enclosure, his piercing eyes fixed on the camera with an air of curiosity. His stripes glisten in the light, and his powerful muscles ripple as he prepares to pounce. The image captures the wild beauty of the animal, a stark contrast to the controlled environment of the circus. The Chipperfields Circus was renowned for its ethical treatment of animals, and Kumar was no exception. Trained with patience and care, he was a beloved member of the Chipperfields family. The circus's animal acts were always a highlight of the show, and Kumar's performances were a testament to the unique bond between man and beast. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the world of Chipperfields Circus and the extraordinary animals that graced its stages. It is a reminder of a bygone era of traveling shows and the wonder they brought to audiences, and a tribute to the remarkable relationship between Kumar and his handlers.
