Green linen white lettering stamped on front cover slightly shaken some rubbing edgewear still VG exemplar. Very rare photo sample catalogue assembled probably in the 1940s by Bob Parkinson noted circus collector and former director of the Circus World Museum Library and Research Center. The typed price list details the sets of images for sale such as the four photos from glass plate negatives of the Forepaugh Sells Bros. 1898 parade including images of steam calliope and 4 horse team bandwagon and 20 horse team elephant line-up followed by 2 blocks of close order units and more. In addition there are many images of 1908 and 1910 Ringling Bros. circus parades including views of the “Swan” Bandwagon and entire 24 horse team “Persia” tableau and 24 pony team side view “Egypt” tableau with the 16 camel team the entire elephant line-up riders and more.

Circus later absorbed by Bailey and then Ringling Bros. as well as 101 Ranch Wild West Shows later circus parades in the 1920s the unloading of circus wagons off the Wisconsin Central Railroad flatbed cars loading docks and more. Parkinson explains that his sets for sale from $ 1.35 to $ 6.00 for all of them are taken directly from original glass plate negatives and that he is not charging much more than the printing costs and only trying to recoup his original considerable expense in purchasing the original negatives. Parkinson 1923-1991 began collecting as early as 1936 when he purchased his first Ringling-Barnum Bros. program and followed every circus show within striking distance of Decatur IL. After starting work as an insurance adjustor in 1946 he continued to chase buy & occasionally sell Circus related material assembling a massive collection of field show newspaper ads and was hired as the director of the Circus World Museum Library and Research Center in Baraboo WI from 1965 until his death. It was renamed the Robert L. Parkinson Library & Research Center the same year. Bob Parkinson, Box 42, unknown

1878Best.-Nr. 19724N. p. n. p. ca. 1878-1880. Some short shallow chips from one long edge; a trifle toned and soiled; in very good condition. Single leaf printed recto and verso approx. 20.25 x 7.13 inches illustrated with numerous woodcuts of human oddities. An attractive ephemeral showbill from the veteran circus promoter Giles Pullman who offers a "Grand Comic Concert Monster Museum and Feast of the Ferocious Wild Animals." The latter promises to be a "Crimson Carnival of Blood." One side of the showbill is devoted to woodcut portraits of the "Living Curiosities" to be seen without extra charge eight acts that include some of the better-known names of the period--the Madagascar Family Rudolph Lucasie and his wife and two children European albinos touted as Africans and performing in American since ca. 1860; the portrait is adapted from the well-known Currier & Ives portrait; Madame Lyons "the Wonderful Bearded Lady;" General Mite celebrated little man Francis Flynn 1864-1898; as well as "The Persian Beauty or Fan Woman" a variant on a Circassian woman; a living skeleton the fairy queen the Wild Man from the Island of Ceylon and "Nena the Egyptian Wild Girl." This seems certainly a late appearance of the Madagascar albinos; General Mite seems to have started performing around 1878 and married in 1884 and some accounts have Madame Lyons dying ca. 1880 n. p., unknown books

1886Best.-Nr. 7262St. Louis: Great Western Printing Co. Show Printers and Engravers 1886. St. Louis: Great Western Printing Co. Show Printers and Engravers 1886. Two-sided herald 10.5" x 28" printed in black on yellow newsprint. Text on bottom of each side reads "Black on Yellow Car No. 1 Great Western Printing Co. Show Printers and Engravers St. Louis. No. 4" with "Binghamton Mon. May 10" stamped in blue at bottom of verso in the "Will exhibit at" blank. Illustrations and performance roster in two columns. Headline on recto fabulously reads "The World Ransacked for All Its Wonders." Illustrations feature the Grand Street Demonstration the Egyptian Bovalapus actually a water buffalo two from the Equestrian Organization assumed James Robinson in his famous somersault and Emma Stokes wife of show proprietor John B. Doris "Old Betts" the War-Elephant a Troupe of Turkish Athletes another of Bicycle Riders Siberian Roller Skaters knife-thrower Riffia Bey and reptile-queen Katamorpa. Text roster adds everything from Human Blood-Sucking Vampires to a Menagerie of Infant Animals. The show carried a robust equestrian lineup including the aforementioned Robinson who was only the second person to execute a bareback somersault and at the height of his career was the highest paid equestrian in the United States. Another notable performance was the seven-person clown troupe led by Johnny Patterson the Irish humorist and songwriter best known for his song "The Garden Where the Praties Grow." In the show's route diary for this year compiler and Superintendent of the Confectionery Department E.C. White writes that the 1886 run was "one of the most successful seasons Financially and Professionally ever known.Notwithstanding the strong opposition experienced at the commencement and close of the season." On May 8th for the stop in Elmira NY just preceding this poster's show in Binghamton the diary notes "First day of the Forepaugh opposition." From there the rival Adam Forepaugh Circus & Wild West Show began to follow the Doris route a few days behind but sending their tack-spitters ahead to put up adverts for their own show before Doris's arrival in town. The Binghamton stand was 135 miles down the Lake Erie and Western Railroad and the opposition brigade had already gotten there. The diary entry for the date on this herald notes "Forepaugh bills us heavy here" but despite the opposition advertising and an amount of rain goes on to say "business good." Forepaugh would set up in Binghamton four days later on the 14th. The route diary as an aside descends into an almost Sisyphean resignation as this goes on simply writing "Forepaugh" or "Forepaugh again" entry after entry until on June 25th offers the existential almost-haiku "We ferry here. Forepaugh is billed here. Rain all day." In keeping with classic origin stories John B. Doris ran away at fourteen and joined the Dan Rice Circus. He soon bought privileges on the Rice show along with George Batcheller and soon the two split off to start Batcheller & Doris' Great Inter Ocean Circus. Doris bought out his partner in 1881 and continued as the sole proprietor until 1888 when heavyweight boxer John L. Sullivan became a partner. Sullivan one of the first true sports celebrities was meant to engage in a sparring exhibition each night but missed so many shows due to his excessive drinking that Doris closed the show mid-season and retired from traveling to work in theater production. Doris seems to have been well-liked by other circus folk earning the nickname Hunky Doris. Herald is in excellent condition overall with a shallow half-inch chip at bottom and a couple tiny chips and tears in margins along edges along with a few small pinholes to surface none involving or interfering with text. Flattened remnant of a horizontal crease at center. A couple smudged thumbprints to top margin on recto. Print is clean and color even. Great Western Printing Co., Show Printers and Engravers unknown
