King Bros Circus 1956 Photo Animal Cage Trailer Bear Winter Quarters 3.5 x 3.5

This 1956 photograph shows a King Bros Circus animal transport cage positioned within winter quarters, documenting containment and staging of performing animals during the off-season.

Circus winter quarters included mobile cage units designed for both transport and temporary housing of animals between tour stops. These barred trailers allowed for ventilation and visibility while maintaining secure containment, and were often stored, cleaned, and staged alongside other rolling equipment during the non-touring months. Such units reflect the operational infrastructure required to manage animal logistics within a traveling circus.

The image presents a long, elevated cage trailer mounted on wheels with vertical metal bars enclosing multiple compartments. A bear is visible within one section, partially obscured by the bars, while the side panel carries the painted identification King Bros Circus. The trailer sits on packed ground near a structural post, with surrounding trees and open space indicating an outdoor area of the winter quarters grounds. The length and segmented design of the trailer emphasize its role in transporting multiple animals within a single unit.
