I like these shots as they show Barnum & Bailey just after my time of interest (Europe visit) - though the magazine resolution spoils the shot a bit I'm fairly sure there is a pig (educated I assume?) being leaned on front centre! Would it come under the grooms?
o.k. I will! - I know that some "educated pigs" were fed by show staff as a joke to stop 'em performing as shows were normally done with 'em hungry - they did get too big to handle though & did seem to just vanish....
