Sells Bros Circus

Posted By on July 23, 2012

It took hours to glean this photo from its negative. This photo of Sells Bros was shot in 1882. The show was making ready for there circus parade. A friend of mine who is a photographer saved the nitrate negative with some sort of a chemical process. He said that he would help me with the other negatives that I have.
