June 1930-Lot of 2. 1) Wood framed B & W shot of the circus and its trains, indicated on the photo as "Ringling Bros. And Barnum & Bailey Combined Circus June 20-21-30 Cleveland Ohio." The photo shows railroad cars with the circus name on each in the foreground, with several huge tents, complete with pennants, filling the field beyond, nearly end to end. There are many wagons, trucks, and people between the tents. The shot appears to be on a waterfront, as there are 4 large ships and a warehouse docks in the background. This photo measure 33"x9", and does exhibit some age yellowing, along with some checking damage to the right side and the top. There is no information available on the photographer or camera. 2) Small B & W panorama of the entire circus grounds, with the Big Top and its surrounding tents, large audiences, workers, horses, trucks, and the railroad spur surrounding it. In the background is Lake Erie, with large ships steaming at a huge dock and wharfs. This photo measures 27" x 8.5", and does exhibit some age yellowing and some fading of the image. The caption on the photo reads, " John Robinsons Circus Cleveland Ohio May 27-28-1921." The photographer is indicated in the right corner as H.A. Kramp/ 1919 Holden Ave. Cleveland, OH. A historic look at a nostalgic Circus. HKA#64702
