Circus Lion Taming Act, 1874

Entitled: The lion queen. Showing a woman lion-tamer in a cage with several lions and tigers. Lion taming is the taming and training of lions, either for protection, or more commonly, entertainment, particularly in the circus. A circus is a company of performers that may include clowns, acrobats, trained animals, trapeze acts, musicians, hoopers, tightrope walkers, jugglers, unicyclists and other object manipulation and stunt-oriented artists. The traditional large tents, commonly known as Big Tops were introduced in the mid 19th century as touring circuses superseded static venues. These tents eventually became the most common venue and remain so to the present day. Published by Gibson and Company, 1874.
