Cottage style rooflines
The John Robinson Ten Big Shows had the greatest assortment of Cottage cages of any show on the road. This is from the turn of the century. Richard Conover gave countless hours towards researching these various cages. This is one of them that has never been identified by a number. Does anyone have a photo of this cage where the cage number can be seen?
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
