... Mr. Merritt was perhaps best known for a limerick he wrote in 1913 for a signed column: A wonderful bird is the pelican, His bill will hold more than his belican. He can take in his beak Food enough for a week, But I'm damned if I see how the helican. From - www.nytimes.com/1972/01/11/archives/d-l-merritt-wrote-lim....

Looking at the 25", this could be Dublin Zoo, near one of today's elephant pools Check the fencing behind this stag in this definitely-Dublin-Zoo pic in the nli catalogue from the Independent 1934-35: IND H 2893

Fashions would say earliest is 1920s. The two women are wearing very similar dresses and gloves, with different hats and shoes - sisters?

Carnival, wrestling bear, all alive... Life's canvas is the richest painting of them all.

Another worthy photos for re-print and for people that love Tatoos or Carnival art this would be collectable.

This was a "Continuous" show. You paid your nickel and entered; when you'd seen all the acts, you left. The brown pelican has its own perch, so it certainly traveled with the show. I don't see any chain on the leg, so it was probably a pet bird rather than a captured bird.

I so love carnivals!

"See Teddy the wrestling bear": ah, Teddy! le nom de tous les bons vieux nounours de notre enfance. Amusant de voir que ce nom était déjà donné au milileu des années 30. On devrait peut être chercher dans la littérature quelle fable ou quelle légende nomme déjà son ours comme ça. Mais qui était le tout premier Teddy?

The Vermont State Fair has changed. No more wrestling bears. That's a good thing.
