Patrick Barnum said:
This photo is mislabeled. I don't know the identity of the gentleman on the left, but he's definitely not P.T. Barnum.
WolfFoley said:
The photographer's comment engraved on the negative is that Jack Barrett was with "Barnum," meaning "Barnum's show" which is Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth. Barnum was long dead, but people still refer to the show by his name. No idea who the man on the left is. The right side of the negative indicates that Jack Barrett was 28 inches high. Cannot tell if it identifies the other man. The photograph almost certainly was taken at Madison Square Garden, where the B&B show opened every Spring. A check with Circus World Museum's index would reveal what years Barrett was with that show.

He and his brother were with Barnum and Bailey for over 20 years.Herbert was 36 inches tall.

Easily recognizable. He had no neck. But he was a really smart guy.
Art Siegel said:
Though the date written on the negative is 3/4/22, the medal he is wearing is from an electrical engineering convention in Cincinnati in August, 1915.
