EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this mechanical marvel, the Mechanical Monster Head, which once graced the stage of the legendary London Hippodrome in December 1902. Created by the ingenious Kluks, this puppet was a star attraction of the ever-original variety acts that captivated audiences at the time. In this photograph, the Mechanical Monster Head roars with insatiable hunger, its jaws wide open, demanding more food from the crowd. The intricate mechanism of the puppet brings the monster to life, creating an air of excitement and anticipation. But once its hunger is satiated, the Mechanical Monster Head's expression changes, and its eyes roll with delight over the repast. The intricate details of the puppet's design are on full display, from the individual strands of hair to the veins on the monster's scaly skin. After indulging in its meal, the Mechanical Monster Head succumbs to a peaceful slumber, its mechanical heart slowing down. The puppet's intricacies and movements were a testament to the skill and artistry of the Kluks, who pushed the boundaries of what was possible with puppetry at the time. This photograph is a glimpse into the past, a reminder of the wonder and magic that once filled the London Hippodrome. It is a testament to the power of imagination and the art of puppetry, which continues to captivate and inspire audiences to this day.
