Captured in a black and white medium, the image features a collection of large cats, seemingly in a circus or performance setting. The cats include tigers and what appears to be a leopard, positioned on various elevated platforms and structures. A net hangs overhead, adding to the sense of an enclosed performance space.

There is a figure standing in the background, possibly a trainer or performer, overseeing the animals. The staging includes fences and bars, suggesting a controlled environment.

The photograph appears to be a contact sheet, with two identical images stacked vertically, likely from the same roll of film. This format provides a glimpse into the photographic process and the act of selecting the best shot.

This is a black and white image, likely a negative or a print of a negative, showing what appears to be a circus scene.

The scene is split into two main sections, likely because it is a diptych or a double exposure:

In the top half:

• Two big cats are in the center. A tiger is standing on its hind legs, reaching up, and another tiger is resting on a platform.
• A leopard is on a set of stairs.
• A structure resembling a circus fence with a netting backdrop is visible.
• A person is partially visible in the background, possibly a performer.

In the bottom half:

• The scene appears similar but with subtle variations in the positions of the cats.
• The tigers are again a prominent feature, with one standing on a platform and another looking at the leopard.
• The leopard appears to be on the stairs.
• A person is visible in the background.

The image's composition, combined with the use of the fence, and the lighting, suggests a circus environment. It is possible that the artist is showcasing the training of big cats in a circus. The image's quality, style, and composition imply a past time, probably from the early to mid 20th century.
