Old Yankee Robinson's Great Modern Show Letterhead with Letter
Publisher: 1875
Very attractive letterhead with advertising for "Old Yankee" Robinson's Great Modern Show - which included a hippodrome with a Roman race track ("every kind of race ever thought of"), a "tip top" circus, a large elevated stage upon which performed a "troupe of roller skateists - both sexes." (woo woo!) All of this described at the top of the page, along with an attractive logo (the Earth surrounded by a chariot race, with show features printed on the globe) and the Robinson rebus. Along the side are printed additional features, including a velocipede carnival troupe, a ballet troupe of "Ladies and Misses, " a "great cannon feat." Oddly enough among the enumerated features is, "More new, novel, beautiful and unique printing (all newly executed by the Evening Express Printing and Engraving Co;, Rochester, N.Y., ) than was ever done in any one season by any company." As an added addendum, the spiel states, "Now if all these Six Cardinal Features are complete and well done, Y.R. wants to know where nay 'Swindle' can come in." The letter itself is dated Terre Haute Indiana, April 9, 1875. The salutation is "Dear Pareints" [sic] and appears to be from "Nell" whose note is warm and reassuring about "plenty of hard "work she is experiencing in the circus. Very good condition with one tiny chip on the upper page edge, previously folded for mailing. EPHEMERA 5201 Original Document Very Good Condition Ephemera Quantity available: 1.
