EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Radio Bear" we are transported back to the roaring 20s in New York City. One of Brekers trained bears, known for their incredible performances, takes a break from entertaining audiences to indulge in the magic of radio. It is February 23rd, 1924, and amidst the bustling city streets, this wild animal finds solace at a table adorned with headphones. Captured by Central News, this monochrome image encapsulates the essence of an era marked by innovation and curiosity. The bear's fur glistens under the soft light as it sits attentively, its eyes fixed on an invisible performance unfolding through those headphones. Perhaps it is captivated by a mesmerizing concert or engrossed in a captivating news bulletin. This photograph not only showcases humanity's ability to train animals but also highlights our shared fascination with technology and entertainment. The juxtaposition between untamed nature and modernity creates a thought-provoking visual narrative that transports us into another time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of Europeana photography, let us marvel at how far we have come since then while cherishing the moments when humans and animals found harmony even amidst the chaos of urban life.
