History

The circus, more formally known as the Sells Brothers' Quadruple Alliance, Museum, Menagerie, Caravan and Circus, ran from 1862 to 1863 and again from 1871 to 1895. The circus was based out of Columbus, Ohio in an area that was known as Sellsville in Clinton Township along the Olentangy River near King Avenue.[1] Sellsville was of considerable size, and many animals and staff lived in the area during the off seasons.[2] It merged with the circus operated by Adam Forepaugh to form the Forepaugh-Sells Brothers' Circus in 1900.[3]

The 1901 silent film Day at the Circus by Edison Manufacturing Company features a parade and horse race from the circus.

gollark: Some very rough ideas for how to detect similar images:- remove blank space at top/bottom/sides and do the rest of these- run OCR over the text and check for matches- split image up into chunks, reduce the color space a lot, count how many times each color appears, check for similar chunks in other images- run edge detection on them, get locations of edges, fuzzy matching of those- ML-based object detection?- some sort of locality-sensitive hashing for image data
