A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts a wagon with text and imagery painted all over it. The text reads, "BOHN | BROTHERS | CIRCUS | THE WONDE..." and features painted images of a lion, clown with painted face, two circus performers, horse, and tiger. The rear of another wagon is just barely visible on the right side of the composition.
