A young circus elephant assists in erecting the big top or tent at the Barnum and Bailey touring circus in the USA in 1971. It is in a massive harness, linked up via chains, ready to help the rope pulley needed to raise the canvas up to the top of the pole. This image is from an old American amateur Kodak 35mm colour transparency.
