Old Circus Advertisement W W Cole Antique Ephemera Victorian Trade Card
An amazing ephemeral find, this old circus advertising trade card dates from the late 1800s. Die cut into the shape of a butterfly, the antique Victorian era advertisement is packed with spectacular information about W. Cole’s Great Circus. The small paper ad proclaims the W. Cole circus is “The Largest on Earth” and “Boundless as the Universe” and promises the attendee. 500 snakes, Great Manager of Wild Beasts, 1000 Men, A Gallery of Wax Statuary, Aerial Bicycle Riding, Daring Sensational Feats, 500 Horses, Menagerie of Trained Beasts.. It’s astonishing it has survived well-over 125 years. The only other reference I can find to this antique circus ad is in the Victorian trade card collection of the Florida State University Library. The small colorful die cut butterfly is printed on paper. The vintage circus advertisement shows wear consistent with its age and use. A tiny tip of one wing has chipped away, there is a small tear on a “W” near the butterfly’s head, and some tape residue along the top edge. 5 3/8″ x 2 3/4″.

Circus cabinet photo Jugglers The Ader Brothers Boys back to back Juggling
Cabinet photo of Circus Jugglers The Ader Brothers (at the time this photo was taken, they had added another performer to their group and named themselves The Ader Trio though only two of the three in the group at thew time are pictured). This cabinet photo shows two boys in costume who are back to back with the back of their heads nearly touching. The boys are not only juggling pins in the air but they are exchanging them from one boy to the other as you can see two pins in the air above both their heads. If they were just juggling their own pins, those ones in the air would come crashing down on their heads. The back of the mount has handwriting identifying these boys as being part of the Ader Trio which were a family of jugglers from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Condition – used/preowned, please read the condition section. Location – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Size (including mount) – 5 and 1/8 inches wide and 7 and 3/16 inches high.

This is described as “The Pony Mathematician” (10780). Comparing old photos, it’s not Hans Clever, but this image is from around the same time. Maybe it’s at the Chicago’s World’s Fair? Nevertheless, it’s very rare and obviously cool. Benjamin is well known for his photojournalism, stereoview publishing company, the invention of a photo gun camera, as well as search and rescue work on Mount Washington. This is a stereoview (also known as a stereograph or stereoscope card). It is one of the first forms of 3D photography. The images were captured with a special stereoscopic camera, which has two lenses – simulating the view of our left and right eyes. The two, nearly identical pictures are then mounted next to each other (most commonly on a piece of cardstock, glued on as photographs or printed as lithographs). The image can then be seen in three dimensions when viewed through a device known as a stereoscope, stereopticon, and/or televiewer. Standard-size stereograph, measuring about 3.5 x 7 inches. All of my paper items are protected in archival-safe polypropylene sleeves and packaged in rig.
