1719ref. 62577Erie PA: Erie Litho & Printing Co. March 17 1923. Large double atlas folio dual-sided broadside printed on newsprint sized 9.25 x 42 in. photo & woodcut engraving illustrations recto & verso toning to paper some chipping & edgewear paper repairs to closed tears still a G- copy. First edition thus of this advertising broadside for Erickson’s “J.W. Johnson’s Old Reliable Virginia Minstrels World’s best colored show. . . “ which touts their supposed 15 year history and appear to have either been reformed from the “Alabama Minstrels” show which played throughout the West and Midwest from 1905-1914 or simply taken over some of their acts. The contortionist fire king Hi Henry Hunt who appears in this broadside regularly performed with the “Alabama Minstrels” from 1905-1913. The silver voiced tenor A.J. McFarland and Grace Arniot Royal Entertainer depicted on the broadside also appear to have been African-American rather than black face performers. The name appears to have been drawn from the 19th-Century original “Virginia Minstrels” or the “Melodious Ethiopian Band” which featured Billy Whitlokc Dick Pelham Frank Brower and Dan Emmett performing in New York’s Bowery Amphitheater in 1843 and launched the minstrelsy form of entertainment. Emmett is perhaps best remembered as the author of “Dixie” which ironically would become the Confederate States unofficial anthem.

ref. 99651890-1896. Green printed paper wraps 40pp. used 8vo contents detached and loose but complete. First page headed "Programme" followed by "1 Puss in Boots" with brief narrative with dialogue of nine slides 2.5 pp. Also "Weal Pies" just title - just one slide Jack the Giant Killer with narrative then 7 titles reflecting single slide subject including "Football Player" "Policeman and Cook" etc "The Bottle" 19 slides with narrative "The Arctic Expedition" 6 slides from No.1 'The ship is now frozen in the Arctic Ocean' to no.6 'An adventure with a polar bear and they are too young to kill it". Further individual slides followed by 13 for "Gulliver's Travels" followed by further individual slides concluding with one entitled "Good Night". This programme totals 14 pp. The following Programme is dated 29 Jan. 1890 and comprises a list of 42 subjects in two columns including "Arctic Expedition" but with several differences from the first programme. Perhaps part of the second programme title "Views in the Polar Regions" 6 slides described including one of inhabitants dresssed for the cold unloading a ship and landing cargo". One description "party of explorers travelling on the ice" has a line through it and the word "Funeral" added in red ink- I can offer no explanation. This is followed by a sequence of descriptions of slides with titles like "Salt Mines""Graham's Island" "Geyser" "Aurora". Other "Programmes" follow dating 1890 to 1896 some edited with ticks or crossings out including same or similar titles lengthy description of the 9 slides that make up "Red Riding Hood". Several programmes have a total number of slides and/or timing e.g. "60 Pictures occupying 1 hour". At the other end of the Notebook there is a "List of Slides" titles with numbers grand total with further technical information about shows "118 Pictures 1 hymn 1 Song Drawing slide . . . 12 ft fron Lens to Sheet 3 ft from Lens to Floor Long side of sheet across. Lantern 3.3 from floor Articles underlined Lantern slides Smoked Glass Sheet and Frame . . .items needed . . .Whistle Wedges . . ." Although presumably an amateur the show-man was obviously professional and thorough in his preparations as this manuscript reveals. The subjects also strongly indicate public taste and Arctic Exploraration seems to be a dominant interest at the time. [1890-1896] paperback

1903ref. BK0104Jacksonville Illinois: E. L. Young 1903. Original silver gelatin photograph of a Native American dancer in elaborate performance dress mounted on the studio card of E. L. Young. The sitter is shown in an animated pose before what appears to be a temporary canvas or exhibition structure holding dance implements and wearing ankle ornaments. Mount approximately 4 ¼ x 6 inches photograph 3 x 4 inches. Pencil identification of Young's Jacksonville studio to verso. Excellent. A photograph of an Indigenous American dancer likely made during the appearance of a traveling Wild West or related exhibition company in Jacksonville. Although the sitter has not been identified the Jacksonville location and apparent temporary showground setting suggest that the image records a performer from a traveling show rather than a western ethnographic portrait. In fact Pawnee Bill's Wild West appeared in the city in 1903;1 Pawnee Bill's company was among the largest touring Wild West groups of the period and employed Native performers as a major component of its program. We find no other examples and scant record of the photographer E.L. Young though a surviving cabinet card dated 1900 was offered online at the time of writing. 1 "PAWNEE BILL" Jacksonville Journal Courier October 16 1903 7. . E. L. Young unknown
