Barnum & Bailey #10
Posted By thecircusblog on November 10, 2012
Barnum & Bailey’s steam calliope 1917. When I saw this photo I was amazed at the size of this calliope. I have another side shot showing a giant hand caved tuba…. some of it can be seen here in this photo.

Hello Ivan,
I’m the editor of the magazine for the Musical Museum in Brentford, England. I’m editing an article that mentions steam calliopes, including the one used by Barnum and Bailey. Would it be ok to use the photo in our magazine. I will, of course, credit the source.
Many thanks for an excellent blog.
