Image description

Circus tragedy. In the presence of some children, the tamer William Schaeffer was rehearsing a number for the afternoon show of the Circus Togni in Kufstein (Austria), when Ganges, a five-year-old tiger, suddenly came against it, biting it and tearing it with its claws. Having rushed to the cries of the horrified children, the orderlies managed to detach the tiger from its victim; but too late. Poor Schaeffer was already dead. Illustration for Corriere Sunday, 9 June 1957.
