1930s Black Americana Circus Sideshow Giant NOT RPPC Photo
Scarce pitch card – examples only show in two institutional libraries. Found in the estate of a 1930s circus promoter, there is no record for’Deacon James Finch’ nor do the details suggest that this is anything more than a stage name. Rather than the traditional pose w/a bible or in front of a congregation, Finch is noted only for height & weight in the negative. He is seated in a showman’s way, a precedent set by Barnum so many years before. Religion as the promoter’s gimmick to make Finch more palatable to a white audience is notable. Important Americana for that reason. Strong development & contrast on postcard photo stock w/ no back marks. Corner wear w/ink stain reverse that does not carry through.

SIGNED, RPPC of KI-KI HABA-HABA MAN, c1910, P T BARNUM, SIDESHOW PERFORMER
Signed Real Photo Postcard of sideshow performer Ki-Ki “Haba-Haba” Man Harry L. Signed by Blitz in black ink to the upper margin of the image: “Ki-ki, Venice, California”. Real photo postcard; 5.25″ x 3.5″. Top edge unevenly trimmed, some creases, else in very good condition. Intent on pursuing a career as a wildman and a spieler, Blitz took the name Ki-KI and began working for P. Barnum sometime in the 1880s and, according to him, it was Barnum himself, who first told him to make up like a Zulu – bedecked in proper barbarian apparel, blackened face, several gee strings, armlets, leglets, and earings, and a most ferociously inane expression. His show persona would jump around, dance, utter cries, and bellow “Hubba-Hubba, ” attracting hundreds of visitors to the tent. During the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, he would also promote the African Dip – part of the amusement area, Joy Zone of the exposition – represented by an enormous, grotesque figure of a stereotypical savage. In 1910, he would becom embroiled in a bitter and highly-publicized divorce, his wife claiming that masquerading as a’monkey man’ had gradually changed her husband into a brute.
