Description

Hagenbeck's animal show under construction at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition -- the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. German animal trainer Carl Hagenbeck, 1844-1913, started his traveling animal shows in the 1870s, with spectacles featuring people and animals from remote regions. Hagenbeck's system replaced harsher training methods. He believed in controlling animals 'by befriending them, emphasizing for spectators their intelligence and tractability over their ferocity.' No. 3693.
