The two and a half ton of Elephant, Patho to be precise
The two and a half ton of Elephant, Patho to be precise, gets her behind legs in the air and balances, but four year old Hilary Yelding feels just a little above of that giant foot will help to steady a little - but then of course she is the daughter of the ringmaster of Bertram Mills Circus so no wonder she is trying to be helpful. Training at winter quarters of Bertram Mills Circus, Ascot, Berkshire. November 1953 D6929

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from November 1953, we are transported to the winter quarters of Bertram Mills Circus in Ascot, Berkshire. The focal point of the image is none other than Patho, a magnificent two and a half ton elephant known for her incredible balancing act. As she gracefully lifts her hind legs into the air, it becomes evident that this massive creature possesses an astonishing level of skill and dexterity. However, what truly steals the spotlight is four-year-old Hilary Yelding. With an endearing innocence and determination on her face, she stands just beside Patho's colossal foot, reaching out as if to offer support or stability. It comes as no surprise that Hilary is the daughter of the ringmaster at Bertram Mills Circus; showmanship runs through her veins. This snapshot perfectly captures both entertainment and humor within its frame. The juxtaposition between Patho's immense size and little Hilary's attempt to assist creates a heartwarming scene filled with charm. It serves as a reminder that even in the presence of such grandeur, there is always room for kindness and assistance. Preserved by Mirrorpix through Memory Lane Prints, this print transports us back to a time when circuses were enchanting spectacles filled with awe-inspiring acts like Patho's balancing trick. It encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes nostalgia for an era gone by – one where circus performances brought joy to audiences worldwide.
