Wasn't it Blackhawk who issued a set of Ringling poster slides years ago? These look like those. I wonder whose collection the posters were in.

Capt, today marks 41 years since we took the herd from Winter Quarters to Circus World in 74.

Dave, I think these are in the Library of Congress collection. Blackhawk took the photos and made slides. You might want to double check, but I think that is what it said on my set of these.

Yes, Library of Congress (also available on their website, Prints and Photographs Division). The color is considerably washed out in these images. I think these photos have been wrong before with the same debate and somebody something color restoration on the digital image.
