P T BARNUM BAILEY LONDON SOUVENIR BOOKLET HISTORY ANIMALS 1882-1885 MONSTER SHOW

Description

This brochure is a remarkable P T Barnum collectible! The cover of this piece reads "History of Animals & Leading Curiosities with the P. T. Barnum and London Shows Combined Ninth Monster Show". Publishing information beneath Jumbo's foot is "N.Y. Popular Pub. Co. 37 Bond St New York". This pamphlet is circa 1882-1885 per the Barnum Museum website (the only other place I can find this). Size is about 10&1/4" x 6&3/4". There is some wear from age as listed in the description, including small tears to the edges and a water ring on the back cover. I was not able to photo every page, but all are in similar condition to the ones photoed. This is a find for the P. T. Barnum, oddities, or circus collector!
