Written on the back:

"Negro Nadge with Venus and Topsy. This picture was among those belonging to Virg Campbell.
These two bulls were purchased from Mrs. Joe McMahon when Campbell Bros. went on rails in 1898.
Nadge is the one who set the animal car on fire in 1904 which killed these two elephants and a baby one called Hamburg."
