H-W Fairland Tableaux # 75

This side of the wagon shows a scene depicting "Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater" and on the other side is a scene depicting "Little Red Riding Hood".

This wagon is in the collection at Circus World Museum. It should be noted that the wheels have 18 spokes as opposed to the normal circus wagon wheel with 16 spokes.

After H-W stopped touring, the wagon ended up at Universal Studios in California. They presented it to Circus World Museum in 1963. The wagon is 20' long and 11' 8" high.
