Cottage style rooflines
This is probably the best photo ever found of this cage. Note the "Bubble" roof over each section as it goes down to the "Awning." This photo was taken in 1925 on the Al G. Barnes Circus. It is part of the Pfening Archives.
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.
