Oldest wagon on the show at the time. Brought over from England with the returning show that toured in 1871 as the Howes Great London circus. When that show was acquired later in the decade by Cooper & Bailey, it then made its was into the Barnum & London combination. One of its wings survives in the Ringling Museum. Nice set of old photos this morning! Dick Flint Baltimore
