In its off-season, Al. G. Barnes Circus wintered in Baldwin Park.
Animals are mis-identified on the negative sleeve. These are sea lions, not seals.
Four sea lions surround their unidentified trainer outdoors. He is an older man, wearing a hat and shawl-collared sweater. He holds a metal bucket in his left hand and a fish in his right hand, feeding the left-most sea lion.
