Coney Island after the Fire of 1911. New York, 1911. Sweeping sepia-toned panoramic photograph, mounted on board, showing the carnage immediately after the fire that ruined the Dreamland Circus, Coney Island. Onlookers are crowded before the tents, while the sideshow apparently remained in operation, its banners still erected, one reading, "burned out but still doing business." 36 x 10". Broken in three places, with a chipped portion missing on the left side. Soiled on the upper and right portions of the image. Fair.
