EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to December 1953, where the renowned pianist Winifred Attwell fearlessly enters the lions' den at Jack Hyltons Circus. With her fingers dancing across the keys of a grand piano, she plays a mesmerizing composition titled "Boogamba" - a Jungle Rhapsody specially composed for this audacious occasion. As Miss Attwell immerses herself in the enchanting melody, our eyes are drawn to the majestic lion named "Royale" standing beside her. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as both artist and beast share an extraordinary moment within the confines of their temporary enclosure. Despite having a keeper present inside the cage, it is impossible not to feel a sense of awe and admiration for Miss Attwell's courage as she performs completely unprotected. Her unwavering dedication to her craft shines through every note played, defying all expectations and showcasing her incredible talent. This photograph captures not only an unforgettable musical performance but also highlights the unique blend of entertainment and humor that characterized circuses in the 1950s. It serves as a testament to human bravery and our unyielding desire for pushing boundaries in pursuit of artistic expression. Preserved by Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, this image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand one remarkable moment when music transcended barriers between species and united hearts under one harmonious rhythm.
