P.T. Barnum’s Great Caravan! Entering Watkins, August 4th, 1871. This is the “earliest existing view of a Barnum circus.” See P.T. Barnum by Kunhardt, page 223. The parade wagon is known as the Revolving Temple of Juno. It was later rebuilt with a top figure of Neptune in the 1880s and shown in a stereoview taken at Zanesville, Ohio. It was lost in the fire at the show’s winter quarters in Bridgeport, CT, in November 1887.
