SCHOENHUT CIRCUS CLOWN, LAFAYETTE G.W. FOX STYLE MIME !
RARE ADV. / TRADE EPHEMERA Pamphlet, Published in New York by Gantz, Jones & Co., [176 Duane St.] in 1877.
Very Small Color Chapter Booklet (3" x 4"), with color pictorial wraps, complete with 12 total pages (counting covers), 8 Fully Illustrated, including the Covers.
ONLY PRINTING (all pages shown). This 135 year old booklet is very fragile, yet in remarkable condition! No Names, Marks or Damage, & No Loose pages! COMPLETE & WONDERFUL!!
Illustrated vividly in full color against black backgrounds throughout. A delightful early Comic Book/Advertising item for Sea Foam, a flour product of Gantz, Jones & Co. of New York City.
Bizarrely illustrated, a narrative is given in rhyming verse of Humpty Dumpty and his adventures.
This Humpty Dumpty is done in the Schoenhut Circus Clown Style, made famous by Fox. (Unattributed, but clearly reminiscent of Thomas Nast's Humpty Dumpty Late 1860's work).
From another review of this Antique Classic:
"In this particular example featuring
The Adventures of Humpty Dumpty
, we have a classic example of a Victorian Age chap book. In fact, this could possibly be the first appearance of a costumed comic character. And this Humpty is
certainly
an interesting sight to behold, with his huge, craggy (almost egg-like) white head, rather shrunken body clad in courtly garb, and twisted, red-lipped grin".
It adds an additional dimension to the description for you to enjoy/appreciate...
