Barnum on His Reciepts from the Barnum & Bailey Circus. Barnum writes to his lecture manager Major James Pond declining an invitation to lecture in England and revealing his gross receipts from his Barnum & Bailey's show. Reading in part "Thanks for your offer for me to lecture . the receipts of our big show were in first 6 days $74051.00 - the whole ten days over $108000 and on one day Saturday June 17 $15742.15. This seems incredible - but is the honest truth. We think that "Jumbo" an African elephant recently purchased from the London zoo adds £800 - or $4000 daily to our receipts - certainly for 8 months or 36 weeks he will add to our receipts $15000 per week or $540000! - £109000 sterling. Is it any wonder that we decline an offer of £100 per day & all expenses for the 75 or 80 winter days that we can't exhibit in America" Barnum closes with a postscript "Ask Hoffman if he can tell me how to get the Mexican dwarf girl on resonable terms for Ringling show next summer .".<br/>Major James Burton Pond 1838-1903 was a lecture promoter who in addition to Barnum represented Samuel Clemens Winston Churchill and Henry Stanley. unknown books

Matted; fine. 1 vols. pen and black ink on board signed lower right "Birch" 21 3/4 x 22" Fine Original Illustration by Reginald Birch. A typically fine and engaging turn of the century magazine illustration for which the artist was noted. Reginald Birch 1856-1943 was known as "The children's Gibson" because of the large number of children's stories he illustrated for St. Nicholas magazine. He also illustrated some 200 books most notably Little Lord Fauntleroy: his costuming of the boy set a style of dressing that a generation of otherwise masculine boys suffered through until the fashions changed.
