They show the good the bad and the ugly. I really like all the images I feel like they paint a very clear picture of circuses and fairground a hundred or so years ago. I cannot be specific as there is very little detail about these images. They don't know anything about the photographer or even where the images were taken but it doesn't really matter when or where they were taken they speak for themselves. Every day life with in a fairground or circus was hard work. It wasn't glamorous or magical it was a very transient life to lead. These images show a raw unadulterated side of circuses and fairs with out the magic and glamour.

One of my favourite images is this one below. I like the light distortion from the carousel, It is easy to see how Fairgrounds were viewed and wonderful and magical places. Especially at night when the lights really give off this glow and make everything more interesting and alluring.
