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.
It is the Barnum & Bailey Tableau Den and is located in the Circus World Museum collection in Baraboo, WI. It's the only known survivor of a set of 6 that were built around 1915. Thought to have been built by the Geo. Marx firm in Brooklyn, NY they featured posts in the corners with scrolls and paintings with cage bars on one side only. Seen here with a painted scroll on the skyboard, when built new this also had carvings affixed to it. Flint

Flint,
ReplyDeleteThank you. Was this the original paint scheme? It sure looks classy. Not the normal "gaudy" that we see on wagons.
