Cristiani Bros. 1960









Does any one know who these folks are?  The gentleman in the stripped robe look's like Papa Zamperla, whom had a riding act on the Hamid Morton Circus in the mid 70's when I was there with the elephants and tigers.  Note the roof of the vehicle to the left.  I wonder if the plaid was custom ordered or if it was added later on.

Wade;
The clown in the brown vest and dark hat is Boghonghi.
Thanks for showing these pictures. I've been doing research on and building a replica of the 1959 Cristiani Bros. Circus. If you have any more pictures, they would be greatly appreciated.
