        Circus Procession in Edinburgh (1901)

        Beautifully decorated circus wagons roll through the cobbled streets of Edwardian Edinburgh.

        Non-Fiction 1901 1 mins Silent

        Overview

        The atmosphere seems strangely muted for what ought to be a happy occasion: the arrival of a circus in town. There's no sign of showmen leafleting or drumming up business, so perhaps the entertainment is moving on, or perhaps the damp, murky weather has flattened the spirits of the adults and children, who look on with what looks more like mild curiosity than delight.
