What a great shot "Guess how many elephants" and get a free child's ticket.Or rack-em up for a little billiards.Looks to be twenty-nine ladies and the boss.
Once again a great set of photos.

Is this an M.D. McCarter or Lentz Bros. Studio photo?

No stamp on the back of this 8x10 however my dad wrote:
"Hagenbeck-Wallace, Spring 1934
Winterquarters Peru, Indiana"

I have 31 elephants listed for that year so this looks about right.

It is indeed a great photo. Thanks for sharing it with us.

How does this compare with the famous RBBB shot of all their elephants in Grant Park, Chicago, the Butler [?]re-touched image? Were both done about the same time? Same motivation?
