Herr Sawade: The Daring Tiger Tamer of the London Hippodrome (1901) This photograph captures the electrifying moment as Herr Sawade, a renowned animal trainer, stands boldly between two magnificent tigers, part of his extraordinary troupe of performing lions, tigers, and bears. The scene unfolds at the London Hippodrome in 1901, where Herr Sawade's act was a highlight of the variety theatre's entertainment offerings. The daring Herr Sawade, with his commanding presence and impeccable control, tames these wild and dangerous creatures, showcasing a unique blend of skill, courage, and artistry. The tigers, with their piercing eyes and powerful muscles, seem to be in a trance, responding only to their trainer's every command. The London Hippodrome, a popular venue for variety shows, was known for its thrilling and diverse acts, and Herr Sawade's performance with his big cats was no exception. The audience, held in awe, watched in anticipation as the trainer and his animals dazzled them with their breathtaking display of strength and agility. The photograph, taken by the esteemed Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of live entertainment where danger, excitement, and wonder were the order of the day. Herr Sawade's act, with its raw energy and unforgettable moments, remains a testament to the enduring allure of the circus and the captivating bond between man and beast.
