Campbell Bros. Annex Sideshow, 1910

Campbell Brothers Circus troupe and bannerline, with the band and other performers out front, including Count Nicu DeBarscy on his pony with a cigar in his mouth, Madam DeBarcsy Sidonia, the bearded lady, and Nicu’s stepfather, billed here as “The Indian Medicine Man.” The gent next to Nicu seems to be holding up a copy of The New York Clipper.
