Gentry Bros Circus 1922 Photo Elephants Water Trough 5.5 x 3.5

This 1922 photograph documents elephants with the Gentry Bros Circus gathered at a water trough beside a wagon, capturing a candid moment of animal care within a traveling show environment.

Gentry Bros Circus operated as a prominent American touring circus in the early twentieth century, moving livestock, performers, and equipment by rail and wagon across small towns and regional circuits. Photographs from this period often focused on working scenes behind the spectacle, revealing the logistical and daily routines that supported large animal acts and tented performances.

The image shows two elephants standing beside a wooden water trough and cylindrical tank mounted on a wagon, with a handler positioned nearby. Dusty ground, distant structures, and soft hillside contours form the backdrop, situating the scene within a temporary circus encampment. The 5.5 x 3.5 inch format reflects a compact snapshot-style print typical of the era.
