Always eager to claim the best of the best, Barnum & Bailey present the "12 Most Famous Riders" in the world. This image was originally used during their tour in England, and then again in 1909 for their European tour. Of particular note in the lineup are the Mathews Sisters, known for their mounted clown act, and Miss Dunbar, the ringmistress in the center. This is the French text version.
