This photo came from The Circus Report 1992. However the the photo was shot in 1936. The person who took this photo is unknown to me, as no was name printed in the Circus Report.
Soon there will be no more of these wonderful animals in the American Circus. Thanks to a lot of, A H es.

Albert Rix,,, to know him was to like him. My dad and I were with Albert on Polack Bros Circus. He was indeed a humorist, always playing jokes on people and most of the time me. This photo was taken from The Circus Report 1992. I never thought that I would ever be doing what I am with this blog, It pays to collect things.

This is something that I would never want to witness in person, it is bad enough to see this in a photo. I my heart aches for the animals and performers that experienced this first hand.

As many of you know, I have in my possession over eight hundred photo negatives of different circuses. Many I have made into positive photos and have shared them with you on the circus blog. I still am working on trying to save as many as possible which is sometimes difficult because of there age. Many of the negatives are so old that they are falling apart. My photo shop can’t handle the problem ,so I took them to an expert in photo restoration. Luckily he is a friend of mine and loves the circus. The photo above is just one of many that he has restored. Tyler has done a fine job restoring many of these old negs. I will always give him credit under the photos he restores. This off load is a Ringling pole wagon 1930………………Just got comment on this wagon. It is a stringer wagon # 31.
