Thoughts on Composition
The artistic composition in Sean's example is not unlike the composition found in the 14th century art of Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s
Summer, 1563. The structure is the face and the ring creates the shoulder.

CIRCUS
The first circus to feature an elephant in the United States was the Pépin & Breschard Circus, which showcased an elephant named Old Bet in 1812. Owned by farmer Hachaliah Bailey, Old Bet was the first elephant in America and helped popularize traveling menageries, becoming the foundation of the American circus.
Key Milestones in Circus Elephant History
1796: The first elephant arrived in America via ship from India, but it was primarily exhibited in stables rather than as part of a formal circus.
1804–1806: Hachaliah Bailey purchased "Old Bet" (the first elephant in the U.S.) to help on his farm in Somers, New York. Realizing the public's fascination, he began touring her as a paid spectacle.
1812: Old Bet was incorporated into the traveling Pépin & Breschard Circus, marking the first time a circus integrated an elephant into its performances.
2016: After 146 years of famous elephant acts, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus retired all performing elephants following public pressure regarding animal welfare.

In 1808, while residing in Somers, New York, circus owner Hachaliah Bailey purchased the elephant for $1,000 and named her "Old Bet".
Hachaliah Lyman Bailey (pronounced heck-a-LIE-uh; July 31, 1775 – September 2, 1845) was the founder of one of America's earliest circuses.In 1808, he purchased an Indian elephant which he named "Old Bet" and which was one of the first such animals to reach America. With "Old Bet" as its main attraction, he formed the Bailey Circus, which also included a trained dog, several pigs, a horse and four wagons.This was the impetus for what in time evolved into the Bailey component of what became the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
Several of the next generation of Baileys performed in circuses.Hachaliah Bailey served as a role model to a young P.T. Barnum, who wrote of meeting him when Hachaliah visited Barnum's store in Bethel, Connecticut. In 1888, Barnum lent his name to a partnership with James Anthony Bailey, who had adopted the surname of Frederick Bailey, a nephew of Hachaliah's, to form the Barnum and Bailey Circus.
Fanny, former circus elephant that resided in Slater Park Zoo in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, from 1958 to 1993.

She lived the last ten years of her life at the sanctuary and died in 2003. A statue to her memory stands in Slater Park.

Jumbo, P. T. Barnum's elephant whose name is the origin of the word jumbo (meaning "very large" or "oversized"). The African elephant was given the name Jumbo by zookeepers at the London Zoo. The name was most likely derived from the Swahili word jumbe meaning "chief".

Old Bet, early American circus elephant owned by Hachaliah Bailey. On July 24, 1816, she was shot and killed while on tour near Alfred, Maine, by a farmer who thought it was sinful for poor people to waste money on a traveling circus. Old Bet's owner responded by building a three-story memorial called the Elephant Hotel, which now serves as a town hall.[6]

BARNUM IN NEW YORK
222 Broadway Townsend, Barnum American Museum, Edward Fox
In 1803, the old Hampden Hall at the corner of Ann Street and Broadway was the town residence of Andrew Hopper. He also had a dry goods store on this block in a building at 222 Broadway that he shared with John Scoles, an engraver and bookseller. A few years later the site was occupied by Jotham Smith, who also operated a large dry goods store on this corner.
In 1825, Nos. 220 and 222 Broadway — now occupied by the stores of John Vreeland and others — was sold at auction by the estate of Andrew Hopper. The land was purchased by Francis W. Olmstead, who constructed a large, 5-story marble building on the site. John Scudder opened the American Museum in this building in 1830. P.T. Barnum entered the picture in December 1841.
