"There's no Business like Show Business". This is an opportunity to share and present Circus History with others.
This is not a cottage cage.
Granted it is not nearly as elaborate as some of the others, but the man is clearly standing up in the raised section giving a non-typical roof.A very "basic" comparision comes in the old John Robinson seal den #31 with a fully rounded roof. I use this simply as a wide open comparision.Bob
Isn't there a reproduction of this cage at the Hall of Fame in Peru?
Regarding whether or not this is cottage: Conover's "anything that doesn't have a flat roof" may be a little broad. After all, many many circus wagons of old had arched roofs.
