This photo shows Sanger’s Circus tent from the inside in the late 1800s. It’s a black-and-white picture by A. M. Bliss & Co. Circus tents back then were huge wooden structures covered in canvas. This one looks like it could hold hundreds of seats and a big stage. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more on this photo and others like it.
