- Lot Description
Van Amburgh & Co?s New Great Golden Menagerie, Circus, and Colosseum! New York: James Reilley, Printer & Engraver, ca. 1877. Double-sided pictorial letterpress herald, descriptive text on the recto bounded by dozens of wood engraved images of the equestrians, foot jugglers (on horseback), a lion tamer, and exotic animals that made up the show; the verso with eleven large woodcuts of animals in the menagerie and two vignettes of the acrobats that made up the cast. 27 5/8 x 10 ??. Ragged edges, short tears, one loss in upper margin with some contemporary hand-embellishment in red ink. This bill lists Hyatt Frost (1827 - 95) as manager of the Van Amburgh enterprise for ?thirty-two consecutive years.? At one time partners with P.T. Barnum in the latter?s fabled New American Museum, he parted ways with the famed showman after a conflagration destroyed the Museum -- and Frost?s finances along with it.
