Margaret, to say again, and with I hope more focus. This is a most remarkable picture, for it narrates an aspect of John Ringling North's career when he was at his most powerful and glamorous. I know about a photo shoot he did for a beer ad, but not for this one. It illustrates how a circus magnet was for a moment turned into a de facto fashion mode of sorts. The cameras could make him look much better, I assume, than he did in real life. I can't think of another circus owner who was photographed as North was to appear so handsome and glamorous. Perhaps he was like that in real life, but I doubt it. A grand illusion while it lasted! A GREAT find.
