Bizarre? Definitely.

Here’s a classic that was on Shorpy. The caption doesn’t reveal very much information, nor does it tell us where this was taken, but I think the photo speaks for itself. It appears to be a toga-wearing child driving a chariot being pulled by two miniature horses. How can you not love this one? Post this one to Pinterest of Facebook for sure.
