1892réf. List3690N.p. 1892. Folio 9 ½ x 11 ½ inches. 17 pp. Pink printed newsprint wrappers with photographic portrait of John H. Sparks on the front cover. Covers detached paper toned and fragile as typical of newsprint; fair to good overall. An unrecorded music folio issued for the traveling circus of John H. Sparks in the early 1890s self-described as “The Best Collection of Music Ever Published.” Sparks based in Ohio was building his circus during this period into a touring wagon show combining trained animal acts equestrian performances and sideshow attractions. Sparks toured widely presenting afternoon and evening performances and like other traveling acts relied heavily on printed ephemera for revenue. Songs include “Waiting to Hear the Verdict” by Chales Osbourne; “Annie Reilly” by Johnnie Carroll; “Don’t Abuse the Old Folks” by Will H. Fox; “When the Sea Gives Up its Dead” by J.J. Nolan; “When Summer Comes Again” by James Thornton; “The White Squadron” by Arthur West; “Wait Till My Ship Comes Home” by John Walsh; “My Old Dutch” by Charles Ingle; and “Buy a Nice Little Home in the Country” by Ed. Barry. Several compositions are copyrighted by Frank Harding 1864–1939 at the Royal Copyright Office which is peculiar and suggest the possibility that this was for an English audience though Sparks is not known to have toured England during this period. Harding was a New York music publisher who operated Frank Harding’s Music House at 229 Bowery during the formative years of Tin Pan Alley. unknown

réf. 10291Circa 1910. With stamp of 'Mrs. Gill Translating Office Ludgate Hill London EC.'. The story on nine numbered 4to pages with a covering page carrying the title: 'THE BATTLE OF THE WAVES FOR FREEDOM. By Maxim Gorki.' On the rectos of ten 4to leaves attached by a brass pin. Text clear and complete at 26 lines to the page. On worn discoloured paper watermarked 'CONQUEROR LONDON' with loss to extremities. Mrs Gill's purple oblong stamp in bottom left-hand corner of reverse of last leaf: 'Mrs. GILL <.> ATING OFFICE <.> GATE HILL <.> ON EC.' A political parable with the narrator in a 'little sailing boat' told by 'an old weather-beaten tar' how 'the sea does not allow itself to be tied and bound'. First paragraph begins: 'A brilliant sun and a warm air. The sea was sinking into a calm though every now and then it rose again in slow majestic waves.' Certainly dating from before 1915 by which time Mrs Gill's Typing Office had moved from Ludgate Hill to Paternoster Row and probably dating from the period of Gorky's first foreign exile 1906 to 1913. Mrs L. A. Shiffner was active as a translator from Russian in 1904; Mrs Alice Gill did work for Gissing see his Collected Letters. I have yet to trace a published version of this story. [Circa 1910.] With stamp of 'Mrs. Gill, Translating Office, Ludgate Hill, London EC.' unknown
1905réf. List01132Chihuahua 1905. Albumen photographs most measuring 4 x 6 and smaller. Photographs faded and with wear some stray marks and scuffs to versos good condition overall. Good. We find scant information about Circo Perez a traveling circus in Chihuahua at the turn of the century. The circus was directed by Praxedis Perez and appeared to be largely a family affair. The present collection includes three overtly circus-related cabinet cards: an outdoor scene of the circus tent with a crowd of spectators looking at the camera the verso bearing the note “Circus Perez Chihuahua 1898”; an advertisement for the troupe Compania Acrobatica de Variedades y Grandes Novedades with a portrait of the director Praxedis Perez; and a cabinet card portrait of a girl in costume. The other photographs appear to be a mix of gifts from grateful patrons and unidentified photographs likely family members. Two photographs relate to a Capitan Manuel Villordo both dated in Chihuahua in 1900 one showing the man on a horseback in military attire the other a gift from a Caciano Perez. Another photograph shows an older woman with two children beside her with the verso identifying her as Prudencia Perez. Overall an evocative if somewhat mysterious group worthy of further research for scholars of Mexican performance. unknown

1909réf. 99546Circa 1909. 1909. Fine. - An original 5-1/2 inch wide by 4-3/8 inch wide greeting card on heavy stock illustrated with a 4-1/4 inch high by 3-1/8 inch wide engraving by "HC" titled "Season's Greetings". The image boldly depicts the formally attired Wulff riding a white horse posing with raised front legs. Titled at the top of the image with Edward Wullf's name engraved at the bottom. Fine. Born in Utrech Netherlands Eduard Edward Wulff 1851-1915 was a popular circus promoter whose equestrian shows often featuring 60 horses performing in the arena at one time toured throughout Europe. His circus founded in Budapest was popular at first but went bankrupt in 1906. He subsequently worked for A. Schumans equestrian circus and appeared in the United States with the Ringling Brothers circus in 1909. The greeting card with his name spelled "Edward Wulff" probably dates from his time performing in the U.S. Circa [1909].
