Circus Parade on Canal Street
1876
Large crowds gather to watch the circus parade including several horse-drawn wagons probably holding animals, tamer beasts walk in the parade, and a wagon in the left foreground carries a band on top. Telephone poles with their wires crisscross the street, some signs can be read on buildings, i.e., Queen Ins Co, J.S. Crosby & Son, and L. J. Rindge & Co.
