Printer: Strobridge, Cincinnati Reference: Key Words: Circus; Animals Ringling Brothers / Biggest Menagerie. 1913. This straight-to-the-point advertisement highlights one of the exotic creatures in the Ringling Brothers' "world's biggest menagerie"—the polar bear. While most wild animals were often depicted as fierce and fearsome, this particular polar bear is given the sentimental treatment. "Polar bears are especially dangerous animals because their faces show no emotion, including no anger signaling attack. The Strobridge solution: Go the other direction, making carnivores cute, flashing anatomically impossible but pleasingly anthropomorphic smiles" (Strobridge, p. 33). Indeed, our gentle beast beckons adoration.
