Elephant tableaux #3


Today's Disney people couldn't top this 1880's Barnum & Bailey tab.
The elephant and mahouts are carved but the lady in the howdah is real and the man holding the long, fork looking pole is there to make sure she isn't swept off the wagon.
The uniforms on the teamster and attendants look bizarre. Could this be South African motif?

Did you see the new movie"King Kong"?
looks like cr*p compared to the 1933 version,even with its"primitive' special effects.
New movies aint got no soul no more.
Quality in everything has gone down the tubes with the MTV generation.
