1889Manifesto originale cm 28 x 38, qualche lieve residuo di nastro adesivo ai margini. Grande ritratto centrale di Buffalo Bill (pseudonimo di William Frederick Cody) e 3 illustrazioni realizzate da Paul Frenzeny. Locandina dello spettacolo tenutosi a Parigi da Buffalo Bill con la Wild West Company. Non e' indicata la data ma si tratta del 1889 quando la Compagnia fu ingaggiata in Europa per un corso di spettacoli e si esibi' in Francia, in occasione del centenario della Rivoluzione francese, e qui rimase per 7 mesi. Il periodo d'oro del Wild West Show sara' proprio quello compreso fra il 1886 e il 1893: in questi anni, si rivela appieno il senso teatral-spettacolare di Cody e dei suoi collaboratori fra cui spicca, menzionata espressamente in questa locandina, Annie Oakley, al secolo Phoebe Ann Moses, "la migliore tiratrice del West", una delle attrazioni principali dello spettacolo per ben 16 anni, capace di far saltare di bocca la sigaretta al suo sposo (Frank Butler, altro tiratore). Nella locandina e' presentato il programma dello spettacolo con i molti numeri proposti: tiro con la carabina di Annie Oakley, attacco ad un convoglio di cacciatori e pionieri da parte della tribu' dei Pellerossa, cowboys e lanciatori di lazo e numero con i cavalli, tiro con la carabina a cavallo, grande attacco alla diligenza da parte dei Pellerossa (un calesse trainato da 8 muli giunge all'arena dove subisce un attacco dei Pellerossa ma arrivano i cowboy, che, sparando con i fucili, riescono a mettere in fuga il nemico), battaglia tra due tribu', attacco ad una casa di coloni. "Buffalo Bill e' senza dubbio uno fra i piu' poliedrici e controversi personaggi dell'epopea del West americano: cacciatore di bisonti, scout dell'esercito, corriere del Pony Express, guida turistica di nobili europei giunti in America in cerca di avventure, eroe delle guerre indiane insignito della Medaglia d'Onore del Congresso americano, uccisore di indiani prima e amico fraterno di molti di loro piu' tardi, attore, impresario teatrale e cinematografico. La lista delle sue imprese e' lunga e potrebbe continuare, ma il suo capolavoro resta l'intuizione di dare vita nel 1883 al Wild West Show, uno spettacolo circense concepito come una vera e propria "macchina da guerra", con l'obbiettivo di portare in scena la storia del West americano" (cfr. Mario Bussoni, "Buffalo Bill. L'epopea del Wild West Show", 2011). Al verso del manifesto e' presente la pubblicita' delle "Grandes Courses des taureaux" tutti i giovedi' e le domeniche e dello spettacolo con i cavalieri Alfredo Tinoco e Luis do Rego.

1878réf. 63754New York: James Reilley Printer and Engraver 12 14 & 16 Spruce Street New York 1878. Poster for the circus printed on both sides 65 x 22 cm. on a 74 x 26 cm. sheet. "Programme No. 1." Text in various sizes and styles of type bordered by small vignettes of animals and circus acts. Title on verso: "UNCEASING ENTHUSIASM! / VanAmburgh & Co's / NEW GREAT GOLDEN / Menagerie Circus & Colosseum / Manager for 32 consecutive years. Mr. Hyatt Frost / WORLD-WIDE IN REPUTATION!. / THOUSANDS FLOCK TO SEE IT. followed by eleven illustrations of featured animals including the Two Horned Rhinoceros the White Yak of Tartary the African Ostrich etc. plus acrobats trapeze artists and other performers. In the margin left blank to allow for adding the location of the show this copy is stamped in bold letters "Fryeburg: Sept. 6." A few shallow chips to margins one short closed tear extending slightly into the illustration of the kangaroo else a boldly printed wonderfully illustrated copy. Isaac VanAmburgh 1811-1865 born in Fishkill New York is considered one of the originators of dramatic and daring trained wild animal acts incorporating them into his traveling menageries. Known as "The Lion King" for his bold performances he was touring England and the Continent by 1834 entering cages with lions tigers and other big cats and occasionally putting his arm or his head into their mouths much to the delight of Queen Victoria and other royalty. His long-time manager Hyatt Frost penned a biographical sketch of VanAmburgh in 1872 calling him "the original beast conqueror- a pioneer in entering their dens. no man has been able to effect as marvellous feats or exercise such power of control over the brute creation." Frost continued to use the VanAmburgh name and to manage the show after VanAmburgh's death. Frost was also a partner with P.T. Barnum in the Barnum Museum on Broadway in New York City until two fires one in 1865 and another in 1868 closed it down at a great loss to both men. Frost thereafter traveled the country and Canada with a wagon show and later a railroad show though competing with larger circuses became increasingly difficult. By 1884 he gave up the work and auctioned off the remaining parts of the VanAmburgh menagerie. see his obituary in the Amenia Times Sept. 7 1895. This copy with the Fryeburg Maine stamp was likely printed in 1878 when Frost was in his 32nd year as manager. We found a different poster for the VanAmburgh menagerie dated 1885 which notes that Frost was then in his 39th year as manager helping to date this copy. OCLC lists one copy at the Connecticut State Library which gives the date as 1880. James Reilley, Printer and Engraver, 12, 14, & 16 Spruce Street, New York unknown
