EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of playful interaction between Miss Cilly Heyderich, a renowned tiger trainer from the early 1930s, and one of her magnificent charges. The image, filled with a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transports us back in time to the golden age of circus entertainment. Miss Heyderich, with her elegant posture and confident demeanor, cradles the powerful tiger on her back as if it were a pet. The tiger, with its piercing gaze and muscular form, appears to trust and enjoy the experience, its tail curled around her waist for balance. The connection between them is palpable, a testament to the deep bond that could be formed between humans and these magnificent animals. The circus, a popular form of entertainment during the 1930s, brought people together to witness feats of strength, agility, and the extraordinary. Trainers like Miss Heyderich, who dared to defy the norms and work closely with wild animals, captured the imagination of audiences and left a lasting impact on the world of circus arts. This photograph, a rare glimpse into the past, offers a unique perspective on the relationship between humans and animals during an era when the boundaries between the two seemed to blur. It serves as a reminder of the awe and wonder that the circus once inspired and the enduring connection between man and beast.
