These wagons were named the Five Graces. What a great comment Bob, it is a must read.

There are two photos of this one particular shot. One is just a little better than the other. The information that came with the negative folder says that this man is Mr. Forepaugh. The shot was taken while he was inspecting the lion wagon prior to a parade.

This is a back yard shot of a tableau wagon. I have very little information on this great old circus but I am still thankful that I have this photo.

Small animal cage wagon maybe? There looks to be several sliding wooden panels on the side of the wagon. Perhaps one of my good circus friends will help to figure this out.

This is the best photo I have of a Forepaugh wagon. It is a two section animal cage wagon, most likely used for large anmals.
