5805CIRCUS. ALS. 3pg. 8 x 11. December 18 1940. Lexington Kentucky. An autograph letter signed W. Shelby Jaxon on The Zephyrs stationery. Jaxon wrote to W.H. Warner the technical director of Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows Inc. The letter states in full: Hello Bill I just received your letter. Sorry you are having a tough time getting the Boys up to practice. I also am having trouble finding some way to practice the Bars. The colleges are Basket Ball Crazy now and I can't practice nights and I have no one to practice in the daytime with me. I just worked a one nighter. I used Big Blakeman as my partner. We were a little slow and stalled a bit but we went over 100% and got encores. So we didn't feel so bad. The warehouses have closed until Jan 2nd and the Barrel Hog Factory has moved out of town. So I won't get any work around here. If I had a Bar Act in shape ready to go I could go to work tomorrow night for 4 straight weeks in clubs and then get a unit show. Blakeman wants to quit his job and go with me. But he needs two months straight practice before he would be presentable. He doesn't realize that I had a top and speedy act when I worked these spots before and that is what they expect me to give them now and I can't do it with him the shape he is in. So I am just letting it go. I have the triple ground bars all set and painted up and ready to go. They really look fine on a stage. I painted the bar tiles gold and shined the uprights and they are the cleanest neat appear stage bars I have ever seen when set on a stage with lights on them. I got a letter from a fellow in Chicago who just finished building a rigging that folds and has two bars. He wants me to work with him and furnish the car and split fifty-fifty. But he says the rigging folds down instead of together. I am not taking any chances as I have no way he has a practical rigging. He wants me to come to Chicago and practice a week and go to work but that costs money when you consider you also have to buy wardrobe and get photos made. So I turned it down not knowing him either. Jake Crumley told him about me. I have a job coming up in four or five weeks which will last about 5 to 7 weeks at pretty fair money. I have got to go out of town to see about it next week. It is for aerialist Harold Voise on serial bars. Did you ever hear from Walter Guice I am rebuilding my car's generator and fooling around with my car in general as I just had a fellow pay me $25.00 he has owned me for over two years that wasn't hard to take. Bill I think I had better stick around and try to pick up something around here until February and then I can go to work for Voise for a few weeks and from there it will be easy going. Let me hear from you and don't worry too much about the bar practice or the folding rigging take it easy. I'll probably be able to send you some money to start on the folding rigging when I go to work for Voise. As Ever W. Shelby Jaxon. unknown
1892List3690N.p. 1892. Folio 9 ½ x 11 ½ inches. 17 pp. Pink printed newsprint wrappers with photographic portrait of John H. Sparks on the front cover. Covers detached paper toned and fragile as typical of newsprint; fair to good overall. An unrecorded music folio issued for the traveling circus of John H. Sparks in the early 1890s self-described as “The Best Collection of Music Ever Published.†Sparks based in Ohio was building his circus during this period into a touring wagon show combining trained animal acts equestrian performances and sideshow attractions. Sparks toured widely presenting afternoon and evening performances and like other traveling acts relied heavily on printed ephemera for revenue. Songs include “Waiting to Hear the Verdict†by Chales Osbourne; “Annie Reilly†by Johnnie Carroll; “Don’t Abuse the Old Folks†by Will H. Fox; “When the Sea Gives Up its Dead†by J.J. Nolan; “When Summer Comes Again†by James Thornton; “The White Squadron†by Arthur West; “Wait Till My Ship Comes Home†by John Walsh; “My Old Dutch†by Charles Ingle; and “Buy a Nice Little Home in the Country†by Ed. Barry. Several compositions are copyrighted by Frank Harding 1864–1939 at the Royal Copyright Office which is peculiar and suggest the possibility that this was for an English audience though Sparks is not known to have toured England during this period. Harding was a New York music publisher who operated Frank Harding’s Music House at 229 Bowery during the formative years of Tin Pan Alley. unknown

196852683New York: Electric Circus 1968. First edition. Near fine. Original concert program for an evening organized by the legendary nightclub with performances by electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnick and New York Pro Musica under the reassuring oversight of a Consulting Psychologist. The successor to Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable Brandt's Electric Circus opened in 1967 as "the latest total environment McLuhanist discotheque" with light shows jugglers and acrobats Newfield. The opening also featured a presentation of Subotnick's "Silver Apples of the Moon" an early work for synthesizer and the first electronic composition commissioned by a record company. Subotnick curated a series of Monday night concerts at the Electric Circus and at Carnegie Hall in December of 1967 an "Electric Christmas." <br /> <br /> Electric Easter the sequel likewise featured New York Pro Musica. Their inclusion was a suggestion by Dr. Edgar Coons NYU psychology professor and former student of Virgil Thomson who had had his mind previously blown by an Electric Circus light and rock show and "for reasons he leaves a bit vague" Ross thought an early music ensemble covering The Beatles's "Hello Goodbye" in faux-medieval French would be a good idea.

187017145Colchester England: Oldham & Angle Photographers 1870. Photography. Very good overall. Carte de visite showing the Australian General Tom Thumb aka John David Armstrong who made his debut in Melbourne in 1870 and performed world wide. An uncommon image with Tom Thumb standing next to an ornately carved chair and dresser dressed in coat and tails and holding a sheaf of papers. The visit of the American Charles Stratton "Tom Thumb" and his wife Lavinia to Australia in the late 1860s as part of the PT Barnum round the world tour resulted in a huge fascination with little people worldwide.

10291Circa 1910. With stamp of 'Mrs. Gill Translating Office Ludgate Hill London EC.'. The story on nine numbered 4to pages with a covering page carrying the title: 'THE BATTLE OF THE WAVES FOR FREEDOM. By Maxim Gorki.' On the rectos of ten 4to leaves attached by a brass pin. Text clear and complete at 26 lines to the page. On worn discoloured paper watermarked 'CONQUEROR LONDON' with loss to extremities. Mrs Gill's purple oblong stamp in bottom left-hand corner of reverse of last leaf: 'Mrs. GILL <.> ATING OFFICE <.> GATE HILL <.> ON EC.' A political parable with the narrator in a 'little sailing boat' told by 'an old weather-beaten tar' how 'the sea does not allow itself to be tied and bound'. First paragraph begins: 'A brilliant sun and a warm air. The sea was sinking into a calm though every now and then it rose again in slow majestic waves.' Certainly dating from before 1915 by which time Mrs Gill's Typing Office had moved from Ludgate Hill to Paternoster Row and probably dating from the period of Gorky's first foreign exile 1906 to 1913. Mrs L. A. Shiffner was active as a translator from Russian in 1904; Mrs Alice Gill did work for Gissing see his Collected Letters. I have yet to trace a published version of this story.

1905List01132Chihuahua 1905. Albumen photographs most measuring 4 x 6 and smaller. Photographs faded and with wear some stray marks and scuffs to versos good condition overall. Good. We find scant information about Circo Perez a traveling circus in Chihuahua at the turn of the century. The circus was directed by Praxedis Perez and appeared to be largely a family affair. The present collection includes three overtly circus-related cabinet cards: an outdoor scene of the circus tent with a crowd of spectators looking at the camera the verso bearing the note “Circus Perez Chihuahua 1898â€; an advertisement for the troupe Compania Acrobatica de Variedades y Grandes Novedades with a portrait of the director Praxedis Perez; and a cabinet card portrait of a girl in costume. The other photographs appear to be a mix of gifts from grateful patrons and unidentified photographs likely family members. Two photographs relate to a Capitan Manuel Villordo both dated in Chihuahua in 1900 one showing the man on a horseback in military attire the other a gift from a Caciano Perez. Another photograph shows an older woman with two children beside her with the verso identifying her as Prudencia Perez. Overall an evocative if somewhat mysterious group worthy of further research for scholars of Mexican performance. unknown

Established in 1864 and with humble beginnings as a billboard poster printing company our business has evolved into a multi-faceted gateway to the global print marketplace. But we're still a family firm something you'll find reflected in our friendly approachable attitude and personal service.' As for Butlin's see the WIKI entry - 'Sir William Heygate Edmund Colborne Butlin MBE 29 September 1899 12 June 1980 was a South African-born British entrepreneur whose name is synonymous with the British holiday camp. Although holiday camps such as Warner's existed in one form or another before Butlin opened his first in 1936 it was Butlin who turned holiday camps into a multimillion-pound industry and an important aspect of British culture. Born in Cape Town South Africa to William and Bertha Butlin Butlin had a turbulent childhood. His parents separated before he was seven and he returned to England with his mother. He spent the next five years following his grandmother's family fair around the country where his mother sold gingerbread exposing the young Butlin to the skills of commerce and entertainment. When he was twelve his mother emigrated to Canada leaving him in the care of his aunt for two years. Once settled in Toronto his mother invited him to join her there. In Canada Butlin struggled to fit in at school and soon left for a job in a Toronto department store Eaton's. In World War I he enlisted as a bugler in the Canadian Army. After the war Butlin returned to England bringing only £5 with him. Investing £4 of that money to hire a stall travelling with his uncle's fair Butlin discovered that giving his customers a better chance to win brought more custom in and he quickly became successful. One stall became several including prominent locations such as Olympia in London and Butlin soon was able to purchase other fairground equipment and started his own travelling fair. He proved successful in this endeavour as well and by 1927 he opened a static fairground in Skegness. Over the next 10 years Butlin expanded his fairground empire all the time harbouring an idea to increase the number of patrons in his Skegness site by providing accommodation.' Willsons Printers.

Circus later absorbed by Bailey and then Ringling Bros. as well as 101 Ranch Wild West Shows later circus parades in the 1920s the unloading of circus wagons off the Wisconsin Central Railroad flatbed cars loading docks and more. Parkinson explains that his sets for sale from $ 1.35 to $ 6.00 for all of them are taken directly from original glass plate negatives and that he is not charging much more than the printing costs and only trying to recoup his original considerable expense in purchasing the original negatives. Parkinson 1923-1991 began collecting as early as 1936 when he purchased his first Ringling-Barnum Bros. program and followed every circus show within striking distance of Decatur IL. After starting work as an insurance adjustor in 1946 he continued to chase buy & occasionally sell Circus related material assembling a massive collection of field show newspaper ads and was hired as the director of the Circus World Museum Library and Research Center in Baraboo WI from 1965 until his death.

215188Japan. Early Meiji. Black and white woodblock print 33 x 45.8cm few small stains a few small holes neatly repaired. A lively and attractive image. This fun-filled woodblock print is an advertisement for a visiting American circus to Japan in the early Meiji period most likely around the 1870s.

Seventeen American names with six others are listed in the left bottom corner. Western circuses such as Risley Circus and Chiarini Circus were very popular in Japan during the Meiji period. . unknown
18867262St. Louis: Great Western Printing Co. Show Printers and Engravers 1886. St. Louis: Great Western Printing Co. Show Printers and Engravers 1886. Two-sided herald 10.5" x 28" printed in black on yellow newsprint. Text on bottom of each side reads "Black on Yellow Car No. 1 Great Western Printing Co. Show Printers and Engravers St. Louis. No. 4" with "Binghamton Mon. May 10" stamped in blue at bottom of verso in the "Will exhibit at" blank. Illustrations and performance roster in two columns. Headline on recto fabulously reads "The World Ransacked for All Its Wonders."<br /> <br /> Illustrations feature the Grand Street Demonstration the Egyptian Bovalapus actually a water buffalo two from the Equestrian Organization assumed James Robinson in his famous somersault and Emma Stokes wife of show proprietor John B. Doris "Old Betts" the War-Elephant a Troupe of Turkish Athletes another of Bicycle Riders Siberian Roller Skaters knife-thrower Riffia Bey and reptile-queen Katamorpa. Text roster adds everything from Human Blood-Sucking Vampires to a Menagerie of Infant Animals. The show carried a robust equestrian lineup including the aforementioned Robinson who was only the second person to execute a bareback somersault and at the height of his career was the highest paid equestrian in the United States. Another notable performance was the seven-person clown troupe led by Johnny Patterson the Irish humorist and songwriter best known for his song "The Garden Where the Praties Grow."<br /> <br /> In the show's route diary for this year compiler and Superintendent of the Confectionery Department E.C. White writes that the 1886 run was "one of the most successful seasons Financially and Professionally ever known.Notwithstanding the strong opposition experienced at the commencement and close of the season." On May 8th for the stop in Elmira NY just preceding this poster's show in Binghamton the diary notes "First day of the Forepaugh opposition." From there the rival Adam Forepaugh Circus & Wild West Show began to follow the Doris route a few days behind but sending their tack-spitters ahead to put up adverts for their own show before Doris's arrival in town. The Binghamton stand was 135 miles down the Lake Erie and Western Railroad and the opposition brigade had already gotten there. The diary entry for the date on this herald notes "Forepaugh bills us heavy here" but despite the opposition advertising and an amount of rain goes on to say "business good." Forepaugh would set up in Binghamton four days later on the 14th. The route diary as an aside descends into an almost Sisyphean resignation as this goes on simply writing "Forepaugh" or "Forepaugh again" entry after entry until on June 25th offers the existential almost-haiku "We ferry here. Forepaugh is billed here. Rain all day."<br /> <br /> In keeping with classic origin stories John B. Doris ran away at fourteen and joined the Dan Rice Circus. He soon bought privileges on the Rice show along with George Batcheller and soon the two split off to start Batcheller & Doris' Great Inter Ocean Circus. Doris bought out his partner in 1881 and continued as the sole proprietor until 1888 when heavyweight boxer John L. Sullivan became a partner. Sullivan one of the first true sports celebrities was meant to engage in a sparring exhibition each night but missed so many shows due to his excessive drinking that Doris closed the show mid-season and retired from traveling to work in theater production. Doris seems to have been well-liked by other circus folk earning the nickname Hunky Doris.<br /> <br /> Herald is in excellent condition overall with a shallow half-inch chip at bottom and a couple tiny chips and tears in margins along edges along with a few small pinholes to surface none involving or interfering with text. Flattened remnant of a horizontal crease at center. A couple smudged thumbprints to top margin on recto. Print is clean and color even.
