I am fortunate to own six of these wonderful Barnum & Bailey photos. This photo i think was taken in Frankfurt, Germany?

This photo has to be a circus arena in Europe as I do not know of any circus arena like this in the USA. I need help on this photo as well. I hope someone can ID this circus arena.

This Siebrand poster is the only one in existence and was used in 1952-1953 and 1954. In […]
