Aligator and Tamer in Pit with Onlookers, Timely Feeling c. 1940s Snapshot

Another snapshot that feels existential to me, and like a metaphor too. And also timely amid the era of "Alligotor Alcatraz," with this young man's brown skin, and that row of onlookers above the wall, making him feel more object than subject, and more vulnerable than in control. 

3 9/16" x 2 1/2" and in good condition.
