A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Forepaugh-Sells, as are most of these views from a c1900 magazine article.
Anonymous,
Thank you for the correction. The pictures were submitted titled "Barnum's Circus."

I really like the wagon on the far left with the Stag painted on the back. Did that wagon ever make it anyplace else? I don't recall ever seeing the stag. Did it get painted over or removed at some point?

That's Forepaugh-Sells cage 47. It ended up in Baraboo, after Forepaugh-Sells was split at the end of the 1907 tour, half to WI, half to Bridgeport, CT. It may have gone out again in 1910-1911, not sure. The side cover boards were discovered, abandoned, in a Ringlingville barn in the 1950s. One set is displayed at CWM, one set was sold by C. P. Fox to John Zweifel. One painted back door, with two children on it, is at CWM. The stag panel apparently didn't survive the attrition process. The same photo is in Thompson's book "On the Road With a Circus," 1903.
