1969009057<p><p>This archive contains approximately 140 photographs ranging in size from 2.25" x 2.75" to 8" x 10". Most are b/w about 30 and color about 110 3.5" square or 3.5" x 5" snapshots. The others are b/w and include official "photo finish" shots and professional publicity photos. Also included is a letter with a xerographic image of another racer and his car. All are in nice shape; about a half dozen of the snapshots have faded a little and a similar number are blurred. A few of the images have notations in the margins or on their reverse. A few also have insignificant paper remnants on their reverse presumably from a scrapbook. </p><p><p>These photographs capture David's and his family's involvement in the competition process various cars travel race starts and finishes cars speeding down derby hills spectators at local events and packing the grandstands at Derby Downs celebrity involvement ceremonies and award dinners trophy presentations etc. They include:</p><p><p style="margin-left:5%; margin-right:10%;">Two color snapshots from a party showing the 1969 national champion Steve Souter of Texas and the first national champion from 1934 Robert Turner </p><p><p style="margin-left:5%; margin-right:10%;">An inscribed xerographic image of the 1970 national champion Sam Gupton and his racer sent by Gupton following the championship and complimenting Brenstuhl on his car and racing skill <br /></p><p><p style="margin-left:5%; margin-right:10%;">Parade snapshots of celebrities participating in the 1969 national championship: Joanne Worley from <i>Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In</i> John Havlicek of the Boston Celtics Hugh O'Brien from <i>Wyatt Earp</i> actor-singer Noel Harrison Lorne Greene from <i>Bonanza</i> and hometown basketball star Gus Johnson from the Baltimore Bullets.

Two years later the Derby lost Chevrolet as its primary sponsor for being "outdated and too expensive." The following year the Derby lost its innocent charm when the national champion was disqualified after officials discovered that his engineer uncle had doctored his racer's tires with a solution to reduce rolling resistance and also installed a hidden electromagnetic device that pulled the car forward when the starting paddle receded. At the time the Akron prosecutor compared the cheating to another then-current scandal involving Marilyn Chambers "It's like discovering that your Ivory Snow girl has made a blue movie."</p><p><p>At the time of listing nothing similar is for sale in the trade and no similar archives have sold at auction per the Rare Book Hub. OCLC shows two institutions have much smaller groupings related to local races and the Akron-Summit Public Library has a 450 item collection including artifacts films documents and official photos but apparently not much in the way of vernacular photos from a competitor's viewpoint.</p> books

192038961Various places 1920. Two oblong albums or portions of albums with many detached images. In all approx. 300 photographs. Many trimmed and mounted mostly 2x3 inches or smaller. A fascinating archive of photographs relating to the famous family of Cooke's Royal Circus.<br/> <br/>The Cooke family was one of several notable families during their time of circus performers and owners that spanned several generations. In circus families family members were taught and trained in the necessary skills of various acts in the circus from a young age and then integrated into the family business. Cooke's Royal Circus was started by Thomas Cooke in Scotland around 1780 after which he and his extended family members traveled around Scotland and England doing performances. They were especially noted for their equestrian acts and continued to gain in popularity and grow to around forty participating family members by the 1830s. In 1836 Thomas Cooke's son brought the show to America where they performed in cities including New York Boston and Philadelphia before returning to Britain following a mixed reception. They continued to perform throughout the rest of the 19th century and the 20th century in both travelling shows and various "permanent" locations. Images include animal acts with elephants and horses as well as clowns stunts and other acts. Many images are captioned detailing locations including Great Britain including performances at Wembley Stadium France Italy and India. Although mostly from the 1920s the album includes a loose carte-de-visite of John Henry Cooke autographed by him on verso and dated 1874. unknown books
