Collection of More than 15 Circus Broadsides. Circa 1900s – 30s. Including an unusual Forepaugh broadside (ca. 1890s) that overtly criticizes a competing “little tottering” circus (John B. Doris) as “rats” and “rot,” admonishing readers to “wait for Forepaugh”; together with a miscellany of broadsides from various circuses, most pictorial, all encased in glass (some cracked and chipped), unmounted. Most approx. 10 x 30”. Light to heavy soiling and discoloration. Marginal losses, tears, and other wear. Not examined out of glass.
