Sobre la obra
Painted illustration created for publication in The Illustrated London News. It shows 'Sanger's Circus Procession passing before the Queen at Windsor'. The sketch was painted by the artist Samuel Begg (1854-1936) in 1899. Samuel Begg originally worked in New Zealand and Australia but moved to London in the 1880s. In 1895 he joined the staff of the Illustrated London News and was employed by them as an illustrator until 1919.
In July 1899 Queen Victoria is reported to have 'ordered' George Sanger and his circus to come to Windsor Castle and the circus troop staged a costumed procession which included appearance by George Sanger's wife as Britiannia with a live lion on top of her coach to symbolise the nation's power and strength.
