Barnum Framed Circus Print Tom Thumb Taken From Daguerreotype By John Plumbe
RARE – FRAMED CIRCUS PRINT “GENERAL TOM THUMB” TAKEN FROM DAGUERREOTYPE BY JOHN PLUMBE – You are considering a wonderful framed limited edition print from the mid-1800’s by Currier and entered into Congress in 1849. The central image of General Tom Thumb as a child standing on an ornate chair was taken from a daguerreotype by the legendary John Plumbe. You can view this information in my detailed listing photos. What makes this print exceptional in my opinion is the color additions to the print and the surrounding images of Tom Thumb dressed in various costumes of the characters he portrayed in his performances. On a historical note… General Tom Thumb was one of the most successful circus performers during the 19th Century around the world. The General was actually the cousin of P. Good luck to all my fellow early American circus collectors landing this rarely offered image. CONDITION: Please view my detailed scan for the actual condition of the image and as part of my description. Bo th the original print and frame are in excellent antique condition. The actual print and coloration remains boldly printed. The print has some minor wear and with a bit of staining seen near the bottom portion of the print. The frame has minor wear, was re-backed many years ago and has newer hardware to hang the image. I have included the last two listing photos to show the dimensions of the framed artwork. Overall, you are considering a rare 19th Century circus print containing Barnum’s largest grossing attraction during his lifetime, Mr. Charles Stratton aka Tom Thumb.

Antique Painted Canvas Fred G. Johnson 5 Legged Sheep Carnival Sideshow Banner
This is an Antique Painted Canvas Fred Johnson 5 Legged Sheep Carnival Sideshow Banner. Fred Johnson / O’ Henry Tent and Awning Co. Are some of the most desirable Early 20th Century carnival sideshow banner artworks. It is LARGE measuring over 9 foot 6 inches wide and 5 feet tall… Nice condition with one hole by the first E in legged. Still has the very durable attachment corner hangers. This was likely the lower half of a larger banner, but it is still a great piece and a terrific example of Americana… Tough to find these in any condition. Johnson January 1892, Chicago, Illinois – 11 May 1990, Sun City, Arizona was a prolific sideshow banner artist whose career spanned 65 years. His banner paintings were displayed at the Chicago World’s Fair of 1933, called A Century of Progress, and by circuses such as Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey, and Clyde Beatty. He has been called the “Picasso” of circus art.
