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

réf. 65101Willsons Printers. Leicester. No date c.1930s. Willson's the printers of this poster are still operating - 'A family business with a history stretching back more than 150 years Willsons is now a multi-faceted design print and distribution specialist. Established in 1864 and with humble beginnings as a billboard poster printing company our business has evolved into a multi-faceted gateway to the global print marketplace. But we're still a family firm something you'll find reflected in our friendly approachable attitude and personal service.' As for Butlin's see the WIKI entry - 'Sir William Heygate Edmund Colborne Butlin MBE 29 September 1899 12 June 1980 was a South African-born British entrepreneur whose name is synonymous with the British holiday camp. Although holiday camps such as Warner's existed in one form or another before Butlin opened his first in 1936 it was Butlin who turned holiday camps into a multimillion-pound industry and an important aspect of British culture. Born in Cape Town South Africa to William and Bertha Butlin Butlin had a turbulent childhood. His parents separated before he was seven and he returned to England with his mother. He spent the next five years following his grandmother's family fair around the country where his mother sold gingerbread exposing the young Butlin to the skills of commerce and entertainment. When he was twelve his mother emigrated to Canada leaving him in the care of his aunt for two years. Once settled in Toronto his mother invited him to join her there. In Canada Butlin struggled to fit in at school and soon left for a job in a Toronto department store Eaton's. In World War I he enlisted as a bugler in the Canadian Army. After the war Butlin returned to England bringing only £5 with him. Investing £4 of that money to hire a stall travelling with his uncle's fair Butlin discovered that giving his customers a better chance to win brought more custom in and he quickly became successful. One stall became several including prominent locations such as Olympia in London and Butlin soon was able to purchase other fairground equipment and started his own travelling fair. He proved successful in this endeavour as well and by 1927 he opened a static fairground in Skegness. Over the next 10 years Butlin expanded his fairground empire all the time harbouring an idea to increase the number of patrons in his Skegness site by providing accommodation.' Willsons Printers.
