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. Great Western Printing Co., Show Printers and Engravers unknown

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. With the title below the photograph. Text on the verso: "this photograph is from the studio of G. A. Graham 8 Mersea Road. With photographers imprint: Oldham & Angle Photographers 11 Queen St. & 8 Mersea Rd. Colchester". Below the stamp: "The higher class photographs only taken by Sydney B. Angle 11 Queen St.". 2 1/2 x 4". Slt faded. Oldham & Angle Photographers unknown
187557736Indianapolis IN: Indianapolis Journal Print 1875. First edition . Illustrated advertising broadsheet 28 1/2 x 10 5/8 inches employing a large number of sizes and styles of type including nice display types. The show traveled via its own fleet of 42 railroad cars "Mr. H. Barnum with years of experience catering to the tastes of lovers of amusement and artistic mechanism has put together a show with the sole view of eclipsing any and all heretofore attempts as to Splendor and Novelty." Howes' Great London Circus began its season in St. Louis Missouri according to the New York Clipper edition of March 11 1876; it was in New Orleans on November 20 1875. An ad in the Little Rock Arkansas Gazette gave a December 1 1875 date for its appearance in that city and noted that the circus would be appearing in "all the principal cities of Texas" beginning in that month. Henry Barnum ca. 1826-1902 was a showman and manager for several circuses during his career; in 1873 he purchased an interest in Howes' Great London Circus along with James E. Kelley. Lavish production low attendance and rail costs contributed to the demise of this circus at the end of the 1876 season being subsequently sold to Cooper & Bailey who continued to employ Barnum. Apparently not recorded on OCLC. Despite the defects a nice exhibition display broadsheet. Creased from folding some old staining to margins some short tears repaired with cello-tape two in margins one along a fold affecting several words printer's inking defect affecting the first two letters in the headline word "Howes". #6169. <br/><br/> Indianapolis Journal Print unknown books

187536453n.p. 1875. Carte de Visite format 2-1/2" x 4" albumen print on card mount: Photographic portrait of John McGuire a dwarf dressed in the usual fancy suit and top hat popular with dwarf performers at the time. No printed caption or imprint appears. A pencil notation beneath the photo "Coll. Mcguire." Minor dust. Very Good. <br /> <br /> Col.

Becker Collection of Charles Eisenmann Photographs at Syracuse University and dated about 1875. unknown
187819724N. p. n. p. ca. 1878-1880. Some short shallow chips from one long edge; a trifle toned and soiled; in very good condition. Single leaf printed recto and verso approx. 20.25 x 7.13 inches illustrated with numerous woodcuts of human oddities. An attractive ephemeral showbill from the veteran circus promoter Giles Pullman who offers a "Grand Comic Concert Monster Museum and Feast of the Ferocious Wild Animals." The latter promises to be a "Crimson Carnival of Blood." One side of the showbill is devoted to woodcut portraits of the "Living Curiosities" to be seen without extra charge eight acts that include some of the better-known names of the period--the Madagascar Family Rudolph Lucasie and his wife and two children European albinos touted as Africans and performing in American since ca. 1860; the portrait is adapted from the well-known Currier & Ives portrait; Madame Lyons "the Wonderful Bearded Lady;" General Mite celebrated little man Francis Flynn 1864-1898; as well as "The Persian Beauty or Fan Woman" a variant on a Circassian woman; a living skeleton the fairy queen the Wild Man from the Island of Ceylon and "Nena the Egyptian Wild Girl." This seems certainly a late appearance of the Madagascar albinos; General Mite seems to have started performing around 1878 and married in 1884 and some accounts have Madame Lyons dying ca. 1880 n. p., unknown books
