Philip Wirth and his educated horses in Brisbane 1903

from State Library of Queensland

  • State Library of Queensland said:
    The 'Educated horse act' was performed in London circuses as early as the mid-18th century and is still performed at circuses today.

    Bostock and Wombwell's Menagerie building up for the last time on the cattle market at Newcastle on Tyne, November 1931. The show was auctioned on 30th November, and sold off in separate lots.
  • Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:
    @kevn.scrivens All of your comments on these fairground images have been very useful. Thanks so much for sharing this information with us.

[Interior of Madison Square Garden, New York City, preparing for circus week] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Nathan Adams said:
    Probably Madison Square Garden as in the previous pic.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    captainslack: Thanks for the tip! It certainly does appear to be Madison Square Garden as identified in this photo. We'll add the information to the description for this image and reload it to Flickr.
  • valleyviolet said:
    It's definitely a lot smaller than the model of the big tent that they have set up at the circus museum down in FL. I would agree with captinslack that it's almost certainly in a building.
