Eli Bowen. Le Phénomène de l'Univers.

No place or publisher, but probably Belgium or France, about 1890. 21 x 13 cm. 4 p. All French text on blue paper. Portrait on first page. Fine condition. Added: a window bill (white paper, 23 x 29 cm) with large lettering advertising this 'Biographie', it cost only 10 centimes. Vertical fold and some marginal tears. Very rare ephemera about circus artist Eli Bowen (1841-1924), the Seal Man From America, who was born without legs and measured only 61 cm, his feet growing directly from his body. Bowen was a man of the circus for all his life, touring not only his native USA but also Europe, and used his genetic defect to earn a lot of money, marry and bring up four sons. Ephemeral rarity, not in Worldcat.

Catalogue - Circus wagons. Beggs Wagon Co. Kansas City, Mo.

Beggs Wagon Co. Manufacturers of Circus Wagons, Band Wagons, Ticket Wagons, Cages, Calliopes, Racing Chariots ...

Kansas City, Mo [c1910]. 14x20cm publisher's illustrated wrapper; 16pp, illustrated throughout. Insignificant signs of use. Signed on the back by J.W. Begg.
¶ Fabulous and rare. I didn't know there was such a thing as a circus wagon catalogue until I saw this. There was a reprint of this done in the seventies but I can't find another copy of the original anywhere. Beggs started in the wagon business in 1875, expanded into show business around the time of this catalogue then turned to automobiles which took them into the twenties but no further.

Chiarini's Circus.

Chiarini's Circus and Menagerie. Complete Congress of Wonders and Marvels.

n.p. 1887 (Meiji 20). Lithograph(?) kawaraban style poster or handbill 27x35cm. Rather good. I find it hard to tell the difference between a woodcut and lithograph when they are unevenly inked and printed.
¶ Chiarini's circus spent months in Japan in 1886 and 1887 and the Emperor saw his first circus. And being true royalty he was generous in his appreciation, not like a certain modern bunch who will reward with a handshake and have their accountant bill the nation for new gloves. Chiarini's was the circus for much of India, south east and east Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Latin and South America. They were indefatigable travellers. I gather it was the scale of the spectacle, the horse riders and the animals that enraptured the Japanese; they already had plenty of great acrobats. I read somewhere that the first Japanese given official permission to leave the country were acrobats snapped up by the canny Richard Risley whose circus had been allowed into Japan in 1864 but no further than Yokohama. In this poster the stars are hard at work and are identified.

[Circus]. Haan, Maartje de (ed.), e.a.

De helden van het circus.

Haarlem, Teylers Museum, 2006, 176 pag., illustraties in kleur en zw/w, paperback met flappen, quarto. = Enkele aantekeningen, verwijzingen en paginanummers in balpen. Het circus is een belangrijk onderwerp in de beeldende kunst. Vanaf circa 1870 is het voor avant-garde kunstenaars in Parijs van de meest opwindende onderwerpen uit het moderne stadsleven. Hero he acrobaten nemen een loopje met de natuurwetten en clowns bespotten het dagelijkse leven. Veel kunstenaars krijgen oog voor de betoverende sfeer en de wervelende optredens en voelen zich aangetrokken tot het leven van de circusartiest. Zij passen vernieuwende schilderkunstige stijlen toe om hun beleving van het circus voor het voetlicht te brengen. In dit boek is dat te zien aan de hand van schilderijen, tekeningen en prenten van Nederlandse en buitenlandse kunstenaars als Edgar Degas, Auguste Renoir, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso, Isaac Israels, Kees Maks, Karel Appel, Hans Bayens en Arie Schippers.Voor sommige kunstenaars heeft het circus ook een symbolische betekenis, vooral gedurende de eerste helft van de twintigste eeuw. Pablo Picasso, Max Beckmann, Paul Klee, Georges Rouault, Marc Chagall, Charley Toorop en Pyke Koch zien de wereld van het circus als een spiegel van het leven zelf. Dit boek gaat in op de uiteenlopende manieren waarop kunstenaars het circus beschouwen. Een hoofdstuk over de geschiedenis van het circus is ge ustreerd met historische circusaffiches en foto’s van onverschrokken circusatleten. Met dat oogstrelende promotiemateriaal vraagt de circusdirecteur aandacht voor de voorstelling. Het biedt ook een boeiende achtergrond voor het circus in de beeldende kunst.

Kinoshita Circus.

[Kinoshita Dai Sakasu Dan].

n.p. [194-?]. Colour lithograph poster 76x52cm.
¶ The advertising tax stamp - lower right - dates this between 1942 and 1946; so I'm told. As does the replacement of lions and elephants with a goat. The Kinoshita circus started with the 20th century and is now one of the world's biggest.
