circus wagons
Traveling show transports
Circus wagons are the brightly painted wheeled vehicles traditionally used by traveling circuses to transport animals, equipment, and performers from town to town.
Often elaborately decorated with carved figures and gilt details, they became iconic symbols of circus culture in the 19th and early 20th centuries: The parade of circus wagons drew crowds along Main Street.
