This indeed is a rare photo of Jack Bonavita. He p0sed for this picture sometime in 1905. Later Jack was killed during the act by one of his  polar bears. Louis Roth, a great friend of his almost collapsed when he heard the news of Jack ’s death. Jack Bonavita was the person who encouraged Louis Roth to become a wild animal trainer.
