Barnum & Bailey #8

Posted By on November 10, 2012

When I was going though the hundreds of negatives I have,  I came across this one and almost threw it away. This negative was totally clear, with only a smudge here and there. I ran it though my Epson photo shop and low and behold this is what I got….how cool is that??   I have no date on this poster.

This heavily carved tableau’s name is Spain. The year is 1896.  Seated on top a clown band. I believe is a matador painting in the center of the carving.

Barnum & Bailey’s steam calliope 1917. When I saw this photo I was amazed at the size of this calliope. I have another side shot showing a giant hand caved tuba…. some of it can be seen here in this photo.
