The notes say P.T. Barnum American Museum….. there were no dates. Is it possible that this along with the other illustrations were destroyed in the fire? I discovered that the fire took place July 13, 1865.

This is a photo of an illustration of the 1881 Golden Horse Band Wagon. Here again very little information. It surely is fine art with a great deal of imagination.

There was no information on the negative envelope. Maybe this is the home of Mr. Barnum ??

It is quite possible that these illustrations were different events that happened in Mr. Barnum s life. It is said he was a character.

P.T. Barnum’s grand parade with a 40 horse hitch, 1880. I have no info on where this photo was taken. A must read comment from Bob Cline.

“Put me in Irons” …..I have noticed that many of these lithos have a number on the bottom border.
