EDITORS COMMENTS
Victorian Scrap - Circus Elephant Riding a Tricycle: A Heavy Weight Champion of Entertainment Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this extraordinary sight from the late 19th century! Witness the marvel of engineering and the wondrous combination of the wild and the whimsical as our heavyweight star, an elegant elephant, takes a playful ride on a tricycle. This photograph, part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the unique blend of animal, human, and mechanical elements that defined the Victorian circus. The circus was a place where the ordinary met the extraordinary, and the impossible became possible. The majestic elephant, adorned in intricate, ornate costume and clothes, seems to relish the thrill of the ride, its powerful legs poised in a balanced stance, as if in a dance with the tricycle. The rider, clad in traditional circus attire, skillfully guides the animal, their connection a testament to the trust and bond between man and beast. The tricycle, a popular mode of transport during the Victorian era, takes on a new life in this context, transformed into an amusing and unexpected ride for the heavyweight champion of the circus. The juxtaposition of the large, powerful elephant and the diminutive tricycle adds an element of surprise and delight, making this image a true scrap of history worth preserving. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich and fascinating world of the Victorian circus, a time when the impossible became possible, and the ordinary was transformed into the extraordinary.
