Kelty, Edward (American, 1888 ? 1967). Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Combined Circus. New Haven, Conn. June 13, 1934. Sepia-toned panoramic photograph of the hundreds of cast and crew members of the circus, clowns dominating the front row. Members of the side show can be spotted throughout. Date, title, and credit printed in negative; purple hand-stamps on reverse. 12 x 20?. Slight creases and tears at edges; a nice copy. While sharing the title of the photograph in the following lot, the images are slightly different, the exposures apparently captured moments apart.
