    I love the 'second take' expression on the tall guy.

  • 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.

    More than two dozen homing pigeons were released in New York City on February 13, 1915, as part of the Poultry and Pigeon Show being held in Madison Square Garden. Officials of the show, pictured above, sent a message of peace, via homing pigeon, to President Wilson, in Washington, DC. On each pigeon's leg was a narrow strip of tissue paper bearing the message: "Universal peace soon will be a god-send". The message was signed by Colonel Lee Crandall. After their arrival in Washington, the pigeons were released the following day at 9:15AM, and almost all of them had arrived in New York City later that day. Three of the pigeons, which belonged to Fred C. Schmidt (pictured above) arrived simultaneously at their loft in Brooklyn at 3:20PM. That six-hour flight was considered to be a "fast flight". — The New York Times                       ( To see the next photo in this series, click here.)
