"Circus Procession" 1888 artwork showing two elephants in human clothing, one of whom rides a tricycle, a clown, and 3 uniformed marching men. Here is something very funny. Surely worth the entrance money: At the sight, the laugher peals! 'Tis an elephant on wheels! Close behind him a relation, In a state of perspiration, Dons his specs, and wields his fan, Just like any gentleman.
