Records about Ernst Renz from the book Animals are my life, by Lorenz Hagenbeck
The next stage was that there had to be a giant big top, one like Barnum and Bailey's in the United States of America! So Father assured my mother. But 'Counsellor Renz,' to whom Father had just supplied two newly arrived giraffes for his Queen ofSheba show, poohpoohed 'all that Yankee hooey/ That would last no time, said Renz. 'No harm in seeing,' insisted Father. And off he went across the duckpond, taking Uncle Heinrich with him, just to have a look. They duly inspected the newfangled circus-inside-a-tent from every possible angle and came to the conclusion that we could do with one like that in Hamburg.
