Fairground ride and crowd

    This is printed backwards, the boats on the ride travelled clockwise. It is Murphy's Sea on Land which was converted to this appearance in 1894.

    wow! royal treatment! :D
  • Peter Mackey said:
    this is very sad, the elephant is skinny, distressed and obviously underfeed.
  • kevin.scrivens said:
    The elephant is holding up its foot to have its shoe fitted. If it were distressed I doubt if the man would be too keen on having its foot resting in his knee. It is probably one of Bostock's famous elephants which all had long happy lives, and were very well fed.

    Thw humans are sqauting uncomfortably, arduous labor to make an animals feet comfortsale. Wonder if they had decent wages and accomodations. Wonder if the humans were warm in winter and cool in summer tending to the animals.

    I think that is Thomas Miller's Chairoplane ride.
