Summary:

Here, in both glory and grit, is the American circus during the most vibrant period in its history. These photos, not seen for almost a century, show it all, from the pre-performance parades and tent raisings to the magical events under the "Big Top" and the train leaving town. These remarkable images capture both the intensity of the routines and the spirit of camaraderie of the performers. 75 photos.
