I don’t mean to confuse you. The person on the horse is not Terrell. I believe this photo was taken when Terrell had his circus, around 1950. The exact date I am not too sure of.

Terrell Jacobs Circus calliope, 1950. The calliope was not steam. The man standing next to it was the musician. His name is unknown to me. Another great comment revealing the name of this person. Comment from Doug Konkie.

It is hard to say where this photo was taken or on what show. It is an outdoor spot and I am guessing the date to be around 1949. Terrell was known as the “Lion King.”

For over three decades, Terrell Jacobs has thrilled circus fans. This photo was taken on the Cole Bros circus.

This is one of Terrell’s publicity photos used on the Barnes Bros Circus. In 1938 Terrell was with Al G. Barnes and Sells Floto. The same photo was used then. I tried to count all the cats in this arena, there are over 30. Many are hidden behind the safety cage while others are covering each other.
