Set of Five Cabinet Card Photos of a Train Wreck Involving the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth. Circa 1880s-90s. Five undated cabinet photos, showing a Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey train crash, apparently at a railroad depot, near a city center, depicting one locomotive rear ending another, with several cars in both trains destroyed. Various railway cars are labeled “P.T. Barnum and Bailey” and “Greatest Show on Earth” with many onlookers, rescuers, and at least one dead horse in the images. 7 x 4 ½”. Very good.
