The Family Circus

Submitted by sfgirlbybay on Thu, 08/20/2009 - 6:37pm.

The Downie Bros. circus belonged to my great-grandparents. I've never seen this before, or knew Walker Evans had ever shot anything from the circus. Thanks for locating this!

I'm looking for pictures from 1935 through 1937 of the Downie Bros Indian Show. My father was part of the show riding a black horse with feathers on his head. email mavachicago@yahoo.com Thanks

 

Great photo to enhance...

This is a great photo to colorize with Photoshop. I'd do it if I had the skills and patience, but I don't.

It looks like the Downie Bros. circus is no longer with us. However, the Cole Bros. (see the partially covered poster at the top) is!
