Sells-Floto Circus Parade

This real photo postcard illustrates a moment in time that was repeated thousands of times in dozens of small towns across America in the late-19th and early-20th Century. The magical scene of the circus parade entering a dusty town fired the imagination of all those who could wake from their dull sleep to experience the glitter and spectacle of the circus. The raucous sound of the circus band playing from the top of the gold and red bandwagon with its leaping gold lioness.
