Baraboo Wisconsin Ringling Brothers Circus Camels 1910 Real Photo Postcard

Camels pulling a wagon through a town in the early 20th century were a common and highly anticipated spectacle, primarily associated with traveling circuses and menageries. These exotic animals, often Bactrian camels with their distinctive two humps, were a primary draw, paraded through community streets to build excitement and advertise upcoming performances. Such displays were designed to capture public attention and foreshadow the marvels within the circus tent.
