1827D6FA25RBPUPBAustria 1827. Oblong folio ca. 40 x 46 cm. With a large woodcut illustration ca. 27 x 38 cm. The text is set in a Gothic type. 1 l. Very attractive early 19th-century broadside with a beautiful large woodcut of a spectacular medieval show enlivened with fireworks. The text below announces the show of a gymnastics circus company under the direction of Bartholomäus Ramini dates unknown. According to the playbill the show consisted of four parts: an acrobatic performance by a four-year old; a horse dressage by "lustige Kaspar"; an acrobatic act with among others balancing and a human pyramid; and a play of "Otto der Stählerne im Kampfe mit dem rothen Feuerriesen und die Befreiung der Prinzessin Clotilde" translation: Otto the man of steel fighting with the red fire giant and the liberation of Princess Clothilde which included fireworks. This last part of the performance has also been mentioned as part of another circus show which was held at Prague in June 1827 under the direction of a citizen of Prague named "Beranek" Journal für Kunst Literatur und geselliges Leben. The present broadside most likely announces the same theatre or circus company now performing in a different location.The work has been folded in the past. Otherwise in very good condition.l Cf.

One silver gelatin photo. 7.5 x 8.5 in. w/ embossed photographer’s stamp at lower left corner pencil annotations on verso of photo 1 corner w/ very slight loss still VG image with bright strong contrast. This image depicts the famed Renaissance Revival structure based on the Moorish Giralda Tower in Spain at Fifth & Madison Ave. in March 1912. Designed by Stanford White for McKim Mead & White this historic venue included the largest amphitheater in America equipped with a tank for aquatic shows a rooftop theatre cabaret restaurant and concert hall. The Cleopatra spectacle featured 1500 performers including the African-American minstrel troop organized by James Wolfscale featuring his three sons and the rest of the musicians mounted on camels playing their instruments. The show which ran from March 23 - April 22 1912 is perhaps best remembered for the widely reported suffrage rally held by 75 women circus performers of the world’s first “Circus Suffrage Society†and notably snubbed by the socialite Suffrage Movement leaders including Harriet Stanton Blatch.

19311387Milano: Rizzoli & Co. 1931. Good. 19-1/2" x 14. 8 pp. Cream paper printed in black burnt orange and blue with color lithographed illustrations throughout. Center fold line and lighter vertical crease; light foxing to outer pages; several nicks and occasional minor loss to margins; long tear to head of last leaf progressively shorter in successive leaves; few other tears minimally affecting text on last page; some splitting to folds. Large promotional newspaper/program for this travelling German circus in Italy only from 1931-32. The circus featured "la sua grandiosa pantomima acqua" a grand water pantomime in which the ring was flooded with 500000 litres of water with fountains "whose splashes touch the top of the tent jets of water illuminated by reflectors with the force of 2000000 candles luminous waterfalls a thousand water games complete with the entire artistic staff with actors singers and international dance beauties" our translation."In the late 1920s Jakob Busch made his mark as one of the first circus directors to adapt water spectaculars popularized by Paula Busch in her Berlin circus to an itinerant big top and to bring to his traveling show under the artistic direction of Alfred Delbosq the hitherto purely urban concept of the revuereplete with chorus line singers and theatrical tableaux. Using equipment especially designed for his traveling circus Jakob Busch dedicated the full second half of his shows to carefully dramatized water pantomimes for which the ring was completely flooded. Their themes ranged from oriental tales to Venetian feasts and even to an elaborate six-part spy story From the Equator to the Pole which included all sorts of exotic animals and a polar tableau with penguins sea lions and a couple of ice skaters. . Circus Busch performed regularly in neighboring Czechoslovakia and Austria and even became popular in Italy which it visited in 1931 and 1932 due to the close ties between the Fascist and Nazi regimes" circopedia.org/Jakob_Busch.This program is from the circus's premier in Carrara on Friday January 29th.Apparently unrecorded.
