EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from the summer of 1949, the esteemed Directors of Bertram Mills Circus pose for a programme cover image, marking the beginning of another successful tour across Great Britain. Seated in the centre, the late Bertram Mills, the visionary founder of the circus, exudes a sense of pride and accomplishment. Flanking him are his dedicated and talented colleagues: Cyril B Mills and Bernard N Mills. Lord Burghley, honoured as the Honourable President of the circus, graciously joins the trio, adding an air of aristocratic elegance and prestige. The four men, dressed in formal attire, convey a strong sense of unity and camaraderie, reflecting the collaborative spirit that underpinned the success of Bertram Mills Circus. The 1940s, a time of post-war recovery and renewal in Britain, saw the circus thrive as a cherished form of entertainment for families and communities. The Bertram Mills Circus, with its impressive line-up of performers and animals, became a beloved institution, touring the country and bringing joy to audiences across the land. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a bygone era, and serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of Bertram Mills and his esteemed colleagues. Their commitment to the art of circus and their unwavering dedication to providing memorable experiences for generations of spectators continues to resonate, making this image a cherished piece of circus history.
