1875rif. List3681Cincinnati: F.W. Helmick 1875. Quarto 14 x 10 ½ inches 5 pp. Binding split some marginal chips good condition. Sentimental minstrel-era ballad associated with the touring repertory of J.H. Haverly’s Mastodon Minstrels one of the largest and most commercially successful minstrel organizations of the 1870s with an illustrated cover using the trope of an elderly African American man which was popular in Uncle Tom’s Cabin-era touring shows. The song is attributed to John Rutledge a performer and songwriter active within late nineteenth-century minstrel circuits whose compositions circulated primarily through stage performance and regional sheet music publication. The title was originally sung by Milton G. “Milt” Barlow 1843–1882 a prominent minstrel comedian and vocalist frequently billed as a “Dutch” or character performer and long associated with Haverly’s troupe. Published in Cincinnati by F.W. Helmick a regional music publisher active in issuing popular songs minstrel pieces and theatrical repertory during the 1870s. The sheet has four holdings in OCLC as well as Vassar’s Harriet Beecher Stowe collection. F.W. Helmick unknown
1950rif. List2914Unknown location 1950. 7 x 11 inch poster. Some small marginal tears overall excellent. A small poster for Pearl Bailey with the Louie Bellson Quartet presented by the United Service Organizations and Department of Defense.

From Wikipedia: "Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is an American circus company billed as The Greatest Show on Earth. In 1871 Dan Castello and William Cameron Coup persuaded Barnum to come out of retirement to lend his name know-how and financial backing to the circus they had already created in Delavan Wisconsin. The combined show was named "P.T. Barnum's Great Traveling Museum Menagerie Caravan and Hippodrome". As described by Barnum Castello and Coup "had a show that was truly immense and combined all the elements of museum menagerie variety performance concert hall and circus" and considered it to potentially be "the Greatest Show on Earth" which subsequently became part of the circus's name. Independently of Castello and Coup James Anthony Bailey had teamed up with James E. Cooper to create the Cooper and Bailey Circus in the 1860s. The Cooper and Bailey Circus became the chief competitor to Barnum's circus. As Bailey's circus was outperforming his Barnum sought to merge the circuses. The two groups agreed to combine their shows on March 28 1881.12 Initially named "P.T. Barnum's Greatest Show On Earth And The Great London Circus Sanger's Royal British Menagerie and The Grand International Allied Shows United" it was eventually shortened to "Barnum and Bailey's Circus". Bailey was instrumental in acquiring Jumbo advertised as the world's largest elephant for the show. The company was started in 1919 when the circus created by James Anthony Bailey and P. T. Barnum was merged with the Ringling Brothers Circus. The Ringling brothers purchased the Barnum & Bailey Circus in 1907 but ran the circuses separately until they were finally merged in 1919. In 1957 John Ringling North changed the circus from using their own portable tents to using venues such as sports stadiums that had the seating already in place. In 1967 Irvin Feld bought the circus but in 1971 he sold it to Mattel. He bought it back in 1982. The moniker "Greatest Show on Earth" was added later."

rif. 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
