NEW YORK TIMES, March 25, 1883
* Jumbo the Circus Elephant
* P.T. Phineas T. Barnum ad
Among the interesting items is the large ad on page 15: "P.T. BARNUM - GREAT LONDON CIRCUS - JUMBO...", which announces the appearance of Jumbo the Elephant. A lengthy article on page 6 has: "A LIFE OF GEORGE ELIOT" (Mary Ann Evans), which tells of recently deceased novelist/poet/journalist from England. Page 5 has 3 columns dedicated to Billiards, with 4 small illustrations. See images for details.
Other news and advertisements of the day are found throughout.
Sixteen pages, lightly toned, some minor margin tears, loose at the spine. Good condition but a bit fragile. Should be handled carefully.
