Antique 1870s Holtum at The Hippodrome Circus Freak Show Lithograph Original. Extremely RARE Lithograph depicting his stunt of catching Cannon Balls fired point blank. Wearing only a pair of sturdy gloves and a pad on his chest for minimal protection, Holtum would attempt to catch the speeding projectile with his hands. As soon as Holtum caught the cannonball he would throw it quickly to the ground. He had learnt early on that the ball would burn his flesh if not released immediately.

1870s CHINA GIANT PERFORMER ZHAN SHICHAI USA NEW YORK CABINET CDV PHOTO

Posted on November 30, 2022 by admin

Photo measures 97 mm x 66 mm. Zhan was born in Fuzhou, China in the 1840s, though reports of the year vary from 1841 to 1847. His height was claimed to be over 8 feet (2.44 m), but there are no authoritative records. He left China in 1865 to travel to London where he appeared on stage, later travelling around Europe, and to the U. And Australia as “Chang the Chinese Giant”. Zhan received a good education in various countries, and developed a good understanding of ten languages.

They had two children: Edwin, born in 1877 in Shanghai, and Ernest, born in 1879 in Paris. Zhan died in Bournemouth in 1893, four months after his wife, aged around 50. His coffin was 8 feet 6 inches (2.6 m) long. Check out my other listings now for more Chinese antiques!
