An old one this time. Scanned from the 6 x 8 print.

Pentax S1a with 55mm 1.8, Tri-X in Microdol most likely. 

No I was not in the cage.  Scary enough getting close enough to get the
lens into the cage. Some of the shots were not this sharp.  I was happy to
find a few sharp ones on the role.

This circus came through Nelson, B.C. in 1970 and I do not remember the
Lion Tamer's name.  He was fairly famous and I think he was mangled by one
of the cats no too long after this.

I've done some net searches and left a question on www.circushistory.org
but no luck.  Can anyone here identify him?

Just did a big re-organization of the web site.  Have a look around.

Comments please.
