Unfortunately I could only scan about 3/4 of the picture. In the lower right hand corner is printed:
Cristiani Bros. Circus
James E. Shockley
1960

When I caught the show in '59, I could never quite put my finger on why, but I loved the looks of that Cristiani Big Top. Something set it apart that caught my eye, and I was never sure of what it was, but I liked what I was seeing.
