Well known as a feature of the 1871 Howes Great London, this grand telescoping tableau actually rumbled around England the year before with a Howes-titled aggregation. It was eventually acquired by the Great London, then served on Barnum & London and Barnum & Bailey. The top carvings were removed and it became a tableau and bandwagon on Barnum & Bailey and then Forepaugh-Sells. It was sold off the show, last known to be with Arlington & Beckman Wild West, which could have taken it to South America.
