Barnes Sells Floto Circus Girl Performer Scottish Costume 1940s Photo 3.5 x 4.5

This 1940s photograph shows a young Barnes-Sells Floto Circus performer standing on the circus grounds wearing a Scottish-style costume with kilt and feathered cap.

Barnes-Sells Floto Circus traveled widely across the United States during the early twentieth century and later became associated with the American Circus Corporation before several shows were consolidated under the Ringling organization. Traveling circuses often included large groups of performers, musicians, animal trainers, and support staff who lived together on the circus lot while moving from town to town during the touring season.

The photograph features a young performer standing in an open field near the circus grounds while dressed in a Scottish-style costume that includes a tartan kilt, decorative sporran, and feathered cap. Circus tents and temporary structures are visible in the background, with another circus worker walking across the lot behind the subject. The costume suggests participation in a themed parade, musical performance, or specialty act commonly included in mid-century circus programs.
