1875Best.-Nr. 57736Indianapolis IN: Indianapolis Journal Print 1875. First edition . Illustrated advertising broadsheet 28 1/2 x 10 5/8 inches employing a large number of sizes and styles of type including nice display types. The show traveled via its own fleet of 42 railroad cars "Mr. H. Barnum with years of experience catering to the tastes of lovers of amusement and artistic mechanism has put together a show with the sole view of eclipsing any and all heretofore attempts as to Splendor and Novelty." Howes' Great London Circus began its season in St. Louis Missouri according to the New York Clipper edition of March 11 1876; it was in New Orleans on November 20 1875. An ad in the Little Rock Arkansas Gazette gave a December 1 1875 date for its appearance in that city and noted that the circus would be appearing in "all the principal cities of Texas" beginning in that month. Henry Barnum ca. 1826-1902 was a showman and manager for several circuses during his career; in 1873 he purchased an interest in Howes' Great London Circus along with James E. Kelley. Lavish production low attendance and rail costs contributed to the demise of this circus at the end of the 1876 season being subsequently sold to Cooper & Bailey who continued to employ Barnum. Apparently not recorded on OCLC. Despite the defects a nice exhibition display broadsheet. Creased from folding some old staining to margins some short tears repaired with cello-tape two in margins one along a fold affecting several words printer's inking defect affecting the first two letters in the headline word "Howes". #6169.
