Carl Hagenbeck was the nineteenth century's foremost animal trader and ethnographic showman, known for his enormously popular displays of people, animals, and artefacts gathered from all corners of the globe. This book locates Hagenbeck's myriad enterprises in the context of colonialism and nascent globalization; and ethnography and anthropology.
