EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the mesmerizing world of Hoffmans Circus in Shepherds Bush, London. The year is 1975, and lion trainer Richard Collins fearlessly demonstrates his incredible bond with one of his five majestic lions named Johnny. With an air of danger lingering in the atmosphere, Richard fearlessly places his head inside the powerful jaws of Johnny. This heart-stopping moment captures both the raw power of these magnificent creatures and the unwavering trust between man and beast. The image encapsulates a bygone era when circuses held a special place in our hearts. It takes us back to a time when inner boroughs like Shepherds Bush were alive with excitement as families eagerly awaited their turn to witness daring acts performed under big tops. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but feel a mix of awe and trepidation. The sheer bravery exhibited by Richard Collins reminds us that true courage lies not only in facing danger but also in forging deep connections with those who inhabit our world alongside us.
