1905 - Group of Lions, Hagenbach's
Karl Hagenbach of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus (Peru, Indiana). Hagenbach was a pioneer in big animal training. Traditionally they were trained out of fear and whipped. Hagenbach used reward based training. In 1913, the circus lost 8 elephants, 21 lions and tigers and 8 performing horses in the Wabash River flood. In June of 1918, one of the worst circus wrecks in history, 86 people died and 127 were injured when a sleeping locomotive operator crashed into the Hagenback-Wallace train. Using the catch phrase “the show must go on”, Ringling Bros. and several other circus outfits lent the troops equipment and as a result only two events were canceled.

Another drastic angle, but I couldn’t resist, it’s too cute to pass up.

1904 - From Lily Pond near Agriculture Bldg., N.E. to Observation Wheel (250 ft. diam.), World's Fair, St. Louis, U.S.A.
I wasn’t too happy with the girl, the angle of the lenses was too drastic for a good animation. However I know I have a lot of ferris wheel fans, and I liked the wheel and the pond, so I included it.
