Pink bra? What is this pink? Bras came in white and occasionally, if you were very scandalous, black.

That poor elephant... woe were the days before photoshop

The photo is more than likely tinted, given the uniformity of color on the skin and the harness & fittings. Photos could be and often were manipulated even 'back in the day' before anyone had dreamed of computers.

never the less, that elephant looks miserable.

It depends. You *do* know that for the wizard of oz, they tinted the "horse of a different color" with jello powder, right? (actually several horses, there was more than one color)

For a still photograph, it would be relatively easy to tint one portion of the print. You can see this in very old photographs that have been hand-tinted by the photographer, in the days before color film.

And in the days before stringent laws in the US, performing animals were not often treated well, which is why the elephant could have looked unhappy...or just was in a bad mood that day.

What is wrong with that elephant's eye? It looks completely swollen. Poor thing.
