1928réf. 5820Various locations 1928. Good. 28 leaves illustrated with seventy-five photographs and numerous ephemeral items. Oblong quarto. Contemporary black paper-covered boards string tied. Some chipping scuffing and soiling to boards. Contents worn and shaken with some leaves detached or trimmed some images detached. Still a lively collection. A unique vernacular photograph album and scrapbook documenting a couple of years of Strout's Military Hussar Band a notable sideshow act that toured the country in the early part of the 20th century. A newspaper clipping one of about thirty in the album describes the group: "one of the finest bands in the country is furnishing music at the fair and has already made a big hit with the visitors. In the bright red uniform of the Hussars the band makes an excellent appearance." Another clipping states that "This attraction a singing band of some 16 members is said to be one of the most pretentious organizations of its sort on tour this year." The photographs within are mostly portraits of the band members the majority of which have been shape-cut out of larger photographs. There are also group photographs of other circus performers and sideshow acts as well as some images capturing the after-effects of a train crash; the side of the train reads "D.D. Murphy Shows" a well-known promoter during this period with whom the Hussar Band apparently traveled. One of the more interesting group photographs is pasted on the inside front cover and shows seven large individuals next to a manuscript caption reading "World's Fattest Family." The ephemeral items peppered throughout the album include tickets to fairs in Beaumont Texas; Little Rock Arkansas; Fargo Minot and Devil's Lake North Dakota; Memphis Tennessee; and Sedalia Missouri. Other ephemeral items include a business card for the solo clarinet and saxophonist of Strout's Hussar Band Benne Kenner; other business and calling cards newspaper clippings and other clippings probably from magazines. unknown

1911réf. 239881911. Midwestern theatrical photograph album circa 1912 to 1918 centered on a striking group of large photographs documenting professional popular entertainment during the height of American vaudeville and variety theater. The theatrical images encompass blackface minstrelsy musical and comic performance costumed spectacle and patriotic staging while the remainder of the album records the dances music Great Lakes excursions and social life of the young Midwestern circle that assembled it. Additional material includes the Demon Dozen's 1912 Leap Year Dance a portrait identified as Metropolitan Opera soprano Mabel Garrison and contemporary theatrical ephemera. Photo album containing 101 photographs silver gelatin prints including large full-page photographs and smaller photographs ranging from approximately 4 by 2.5 to 7.5 by 5 inches Midwestern United States and Great Lakes locations circa 1912 to 1918. The large photographs form the album's most substantial theatrical component and appear to depict professional or organized stage performers. A particularly striking photograph shows a large blackface minstrel company with rows of male performers in stage makeup white shirts and bow ties posed before a painted architectural backdrop accompanied by musicians and a pianist. Other photographs show costumed performers in white sailor outfits carrying tambourines and parasols; a company posed with rifles around an American flag; musicians with mandolins; and performers arranged in exaggerated comic tableaux. Collectively the photographs document several forms central to early twentieth-century American popular entertainment: minstrelsy musical performance patriotic spectacle costume acts and broad stage comedy. The smaller photographs place this theatrical material within a broader world of Midwestern leisure. Young men and women appear aboard Great Lakes vessels on beaches and rural outings making music posing for informal portraits and gathering socially. Inscriptions identify individuals and groups including "Doc Merz" "Merz & Curtiss" "Tubby" "Judge" and successive "G.H.C." groups. One photograph is captioned "U.S.S. Essex" while another shows a company posed aboard a vessel. Also retained is substantial material from the Demon Dozen's 1912 Leap Year Dance at Odd Fellows Hall including a printed dance program with partners handwritten beside waltzes two-steps schottisches a rye waltz and a Cubanola. Newspaper accounts describe the grand march German favors decorations and supper providing unusually specific evidence of organized social dancing during the period. The album's connection to contemporary professional entertainment is reinforced by an advertisement for Harry Lauder's farewell American tour and Irving Berlin's Stop! Look! Listen! Berton Braley's anti-Kaiser poem "The Limit" and a portrait identified in manuscript as "Mabel Garrison opera singer." Also a Great Lakes vessel photograph is identified as the Eastland the Chicago excursion steamer whose 1915 capsizing killed more than 800 people. The album provides a visually rich record of popular entertainment and leisure in the prewar and wartime Midwest with its large theatrical photographs providing its strongest documentary content and the surrounding images of dancing music excursions and social life showing the cultural world in which such entertainment circulated. Album leaves and mounts show moderate handling and edge wear; some photographs cut and unbound. Clippings show chipping and photographs show scattered fading surface wear and occasional creasing. Overall in good to near fine condition. unknown

1899réf. List2923Portland Oregon 1899. Two double-sided clippings measuring approximately 7 ½ x 4 ¾ inches both put together with tape. Slightly wrinkled and toned; excellent. Matilda Sissieretta Jones 1869–1933 was an African-American opera singer from Portsmouth Virginia. She studied at the Providence Academy of Music and the New England Conservatory in Boston. At the start of her career Jones sang solo or in small groups touring North and South America the Caribbean and Europe. Jones’ talent was renowned; she was the first Black artist to sing at Carnegie Hall and she performed for multiple US presidents and the English royal family among many other accomplishments.1 In 1896 she formed Black Patti’s Troubadours—Jones was given the nickname “Black Patti” by a critic after famed Spanish opera singer Adelina Patti. The Troubadours would perform comical vaudeville and minstrel skits without Jones followed by Jones performing her “operatic kaleidoscope” of musical excerpts. Offered here are two magazine clippings—based on the advertisements these were printed in Portland Oregon—promoting two Black Patti’s shows: “A Rag Time Frolic at Ras-Bury Park” and “Jolly ‘Coon’-ey Island”. The latter was written by Ernest Hogan a musician widely credited with creating the ragtime genre; he would become the first African-American performer to produce and star in a Broadway show 1907’s The Oyster Man. Jones’ kaleidoscope pieces include excerpts from Faust Pirates of Penzance and others; both shows also feature an audience-judged cakewalk. Of interest to scholars of M. Sissieretta Jones and African-American entertainers at the turn of the century. 1 “Jones M. Sissieretta ‘Black Patti’” in Africana: The Encyclopedia of the African and African American Experience ed.

1902réf. 220121902. Minstrelsy Archive of minstrel sheet music and ephemera documenting the role of blackface performance and racial caricature in American popular music during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Josephine My Jo. Words by R.C. McPherson; music by Jas. T. Brymn 1902 appears alongside a group of minstrel and ragtime-era compositions and a touring advertisement for Culligan and Morgan's Alabama Minstrels establishing a concentrated record of how African American identity was constructed marketed and circulated as commercial entertainment. These materials are tied to vaudeville circuits Tin Pan Alley publishing and traveling minstrel troupes including works associated with Lew Dockstader's Minstrels. Brymn an African American composer who later led the 350th Field Artillery Regiment Band during World War I represents the constrained presence of Black musicians working within a white-dominated industry reliant on the mass acceptance of racist tropes and widely disseminated caricatured imagery and dialect performance. Archive consists of 9 items: 8 pieces of large-format sheet music and 1 minstrel tour poster dating from 1897 to approximately 1900-1915. Sheet music titles include Josephine My Jo 1902; Melissy: A Melody of Dark Town Admiration by Joseph B. Carey 1897 issued as a supplement to the San Francisco Examiner; and additional titles including Any Rags by Thos. S. Allen Smoky Mokes Bunch O' Blackberries By the Watermelon Vine Lindy Lou Whistling Rufus by Kerry Mills and Your Dad Gave His Life for His Country as performed by Lew Dockstader's Minstrels. Sheet music measures approximately 11" x 14" and retains staple-bound or disbound formats with illustrated covers. The poster for Culligan and Morgan's Alabama Minstrels printed in Ohio with illustrations by the National Press and Engraving Company of Chicago measures approximately 10.5" x 27" and survives in multiple separated sections. Across the archive cover imagery employs exaggerated racial caricatures "Darktown" themes and blackface performance conventions reflecting the visual and commercial strategies through which minstrel entertainment was promoted to national audiences. General toning edge wear and chipping present across the sheet music with occasional fragility to bindings; poster is brittle with losses and separation along folds and margins. The advert poster is separated into three pieces with text largely preserved but overall in poor form. Archive in overall good condition. The grouping provides direct primary source evidence of how blackface and minstrelsy operated as a popular form of entertainment and music production while also documenting the limited participation of African American composers within that structure and the broader transition from minstrel traditions into ragtime-era popular music. unknown
