Antique Vaudeville Circus Act Scrapbook Circa 1900s With 59 Pages Very Rare Book. This is a very rare antique scrapbook with dozens of newpaper and magazine clippings of various Vaudeville and Circus Acts dating from the late C19th and early C20th. There are a total of 59 pages full of clippings in this 14″ x 11.5″ hardbound scrapbook. The scrapbook was part of the estate collection of Elgin and Ginger Fuller, a Seattle-based husband and wife Magic Act from the 1960s/70s known as The Deljons. The photos shown in this listing are just a mere sampling of the contents of this very unique scrapbook. We researched some of the acts featured in the scrapbook – many appear to now be quite obscure; but we were able to find records of the following acts. “4 Flying Banvards” (Photo #1) – A troupe of acrobats and aerialists who toured (mostly in the US) in the early C20th with The Ringling Brothers Circus. “The Marvelous Ferry The Human Frog” (Photo #6) – A contortionist circa 1901. “Jumpino DeOnzo” (Photo #8) – The Deonzo brothers jumping act circa 1901 video footage available on the internet. “Bimm, Bomm, Brrr” (Photo #10) – A three-clown novelty musical act circa 1900. In addition to the scrapbook, the three items shown in the last photo are also included in this lot two original antique photos and a large 11 3/8″ x 7″ antique postcard featuring the Curtis Theatre, Denver. And some other small pieces of ephemera and hand-written notes. This is a superb item for collectors of Vaudeville and Circus history! We will be happy to provide more photos from the scrapbook upon request. 114858982136 for 12 more photos from the scrapbook.
