The 1880s

Paper; printing

Photocopy of a newspaper article about Mr. Wesley Redhead, famous American politician and businessman. The article features the photos of Mr. Redhead himself and his great-great-great-granddaughter Linda Gilchrist at the age of seven. Linda holds the very same mechanical elephant donated to Mr. Wesley Redhead by Mr. Phineas Taylor P. T. "Barnum" during the farewell tour of "The Barnum and Bailey Circus" in the mid-1880s. Presently, the elephant is stored in the Museum "Collection".
