About this Item

Every July in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Great Circus Parade brings circus history back to life. The wagons that rolled down the streets of Europe as well as America 100 years ago to announce that the circus had come to town, roll again. It is a week-long celebration that starts off in Baraboo, Wisconsin, home of the Circus Wold Museum, where the wagons have been restored and are on public display. Draft-horse teams come from all parts of the country to load the wagons on to vintage flatcars in turn-of-the-century style. The circus train travels across Wisconsin and Illinois for two days and arrives in Milwaukee to a showground set with animal petting zoos, horse tents, bandwagons, and the Big Top. For three days people come to see the wagons and share the circus atmosphere. On Sunday, the seventh day, the Great Circus Parade marches down the main street: 700 horses, 150 wagons, including the spectacular 40-horse hitch, 250 clowns, a kingdom of wild animals escorted by red-coated outriders, scores of brassy wagon-top and marching bands, hundreds of glittering costumed participants - making this one of America's greatest events. Lynn Goldsmith is a multi-talented, highly awarded music industry elite photographer whose work has appeared on countless album and magazine covers internationally. Lynn Goldsmith?s multi award?winning career in photography has included: The Lifetime Achievement Award from the Professional Photographers of America, the Lucien Clergue, the World Press in Portraiture, to name a few. Her images have appeared on and between the covers of some of the most respected publications across the globe: Life, Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Interview, People, Sports Illustrated, Stern, Paris Match, Elle, etc. With fourteen photo books of her images as well as hundreds of groundbreaking album covers from Patti Smith?s Easter to Frank Zappa?s Sheik Yerbouti, her commercial and personal focus in photography has always been on the portrait. The National Portrait Gallery, Moma, The Museum of Contemporary Photography, The Kodak Collection, and other prestigious museums include her work in their permanent collections.
