Description: Photograph of Topsy. An old photograph with rounded corners showing Topsy standing facing to the right. She has harness straps over her head and what appear to be chains draped over her back and shoulders, trailing to the ground. Hidden partly by her trunk, a man is squatting next to her front leg furthest from the camera. He appears to be positioning a chain or shackle close to the ground. Perhaps he is connecting the electrodes that will later kill Topsy, although we don't know when this photograph was taken, so it might show Topsy at work, rather than Topsy awaiting electrocution.
