Cirque

1945 · 71731 — N.P.: N.p. ca. 1945. Handmade photograph album bearing 10 original photographs. Eight are of circus wagons built by Jack Haines and two are photographs of Jack Haines; the first portraying him at the entrance to the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Show and the second shows him sitting near the large circus wagon used in the show of 1937. Jack Haines was a clown for the circus but apparently he was also involved in the construction of circus wagons. The remaining eight photographs taken by Haines to display his newest creations are all of circus wagons that Jack built in the early 1940s; Baggage Wagon Band Wagon and Stringer Wagon. All the photographs are 6 x 4 inches. Jack also constructed the actual album using two pieces of wood both with metal hinges and with deep linoleum letters and a linoleum sailboat affixed the front cover. The "N" in "SNAPS" is missing. Inscribed by Jack on the inner front cover - "Greetings from Jack Haines to Olivia Kline." N.p. unknown
