Coney Island Elephants #8


Coney Island Elephants-8, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

In addition to performing, Coney Island elephants were also used for elephant rides. (If you duplicated this same scene today, there would probably be three or four lawyers following close behind the elephant, ready to file a lawsuit against the elephant’s owner on behalf of someone on that crowded boardwalk.)
