Hunt’s Three Ring Circus, American Groups Before 1950

Even as I gathered this material I had a certain disdain for it.  There is another major photo collection I was truly obsessed with; these group pictures were, literally, the step child curiosities I was shoving under the bed.  I felt like I was saving it from the cultural dumpsters – real and imagined. It wasn’t until it occurred to me that I had the makings for an exhibition that I really looked at what I had.
