The typed price list details the sets of images for sale such as the four photos from glass plate negatives of the Forepaugh Sells Bros. 1898 parade including images of steam calliope and 4 horse team bandwagon and 20 horse team elephant line-up followed by 2 blocks of close order units and more. In addition there are many images of 1908 and 1910 Ringling Bros. circus parades including views of the “Swan†Bandwagon and entire 24 horse team “Persia†tableau and 24 pony team side view “Egypt†tableau with the 16 camel team the entire elephant line-up riders 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. It was renamed the Robert L. Parkinson Library & Research Center the same year. Bob Parkinson, Box 42, unknown

Willson's the printers of this poster are still operating - 'A family business with a history stretching back more than 150 years Willsons is now a multi-faceted design print and distribution specialist.

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.

L’année suivante débuta par une pantomime intitulée Espana qui permit de mettre en valeur le toréador du fil-de-fer l’incomparable Con Colleano. Ensuite les clowns Andreu-Rivel et leur frère Charlie dans sa parodie de Charlot au trapèze firent rire aux éclats. Il y eut aussi La revue de Medrano qui permit d’apprécier de jeunes clowns Despard et Rhum puis on assista au retour de Grock assisté de Lolé et de l’accordéoniste Fier. » Une grande fantaisie clownesque intitulée Rhum à Rome avec l’Auguste vedette Enrico Sprocani dit Rhum entouré de son partenaire Charles Manetti de ses confrères Alex Bugny Porto Tony Recordier et Boulicot démarra l’année 1936.Le 17 février Jérôme Medrano organisa sous l’égide du journal l’Intransigeant et de Radio-Cité un gala au profit de la veuve du plus grand clown du XXe siècle Antonet.

Manifesto originale cm 28 x 38, qualche lieve residuo di nastro adesivo ai margini. Grande ritratto centrale di Buffalo Bill (pseudonimo di William Frederick Cody) e 3 illustrazioni realizzate da Paul Frenzeny. Locandina dello spettacolo tenutosi a Parigi da Buffalo Bill con la Wild West Company. Non e' indicata la data ma si tratta del 1889 quando la Compagnia fu ingaggiata in Europa per un corso di spettacoli e si esibi' in Francia, in occasione del centenario della Rivoluzione francese, e qui rimase per 7 mesi. Il periodo d'oro del Wild West Show sara' proprio quello compreso fra il 1886 e il 1893: in questi anni, si rivela appieno il senso teatral-spettacolare di Cody e dei suoi collaboratori fra cui spicca, menzionata espressamente in questa locandina, Annie Oakley, al secolo Phoebe Ann Moses, "la migliore tiratrice del West", una delle attrazioni principali dello spettacolo per ben 16 anni, capace di far saltare di bocca la sigaretta al suo sposo (Frank Butler, altro tiratore). Nella locandina e' presentato il programma dello spettacolo con i molti numeri proposti: tiro con la carabina di Annie Oakley, attacco ad un convoglio di cacciatori e pionieri da parte della tribu' dei Pellerossa, cowboys e lanciatori di lazo e numero con i cavalli, tiro con la carabina a cavallo, grande attacco alla diligenza da parte dei Pellerossa (un calesse trainato da 8 muli giunge all'arena dove subisce un attacco dei Pellerossa ma arrivano i cowboy, che, sparando con i fucili, riescono a mettere in fuga il nemico), battaglia tra due tribu', attacco ad una casa di coloni. "Buffalo Bill e' senza dubbio uno fra i piu' poliedrici e controversi personaggi dell'epopea del West americano: cacciatore di bisonti, scout dell'esercito, corriere del Pony Express, guida turistica di nobili europei giunti in America in cerca di avventure, eroe delle guerre indiane insignito della Medaglia d'Onore del Congresso americano, uccisore di indiani prima e amico fraterno di molti di loro piu' tardi, attore, impresario teatrale e cinematografico. La lista delle sue imprese e' lunga e potrebbe continuare, ma il suo capolavoro resta l'intuizione di dare vita nel 1883 al Wild West Show, uno spettacolo circense concepito come una vera e propria "macchina da guerra", con l'obbiettivo di portare in scena la storia del West americano" (cfr. Mario Bussoni, "Buffalo Bill. L'epopea del Wild West Show", 2011). Al verso del manifesto e' presente la pubblicita' delle "Grandes Courses des taureaux" tutti i giovedi' e le domeniche e dello spettacolo con i cavalieri Alfredo Tinoco e Luis do Rego.

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
