So, I have rediscovered the circus this past weekend. I went to the Ringling Brother's famous circus as a kid (I was 5), and it was a fascinating experience. As of today, at 21 years old, I am working on an exhibit design project that involves the circus on rails. Before the motion picture, towns turned to the circus as their form of entertainment. When rail lines became accessible, circus owners saw an opportunity to expand the reach of their audience by making themselves mobile.
I found these photographs in my research, and I love the romanticism, and the harsh realities of the lives of the circus animals and performers in these stills.
