LOCKE, Fred. Fred Locke’s New Double Show, Juvenile Circus and Congress of Wonders. Milwaukee: Riverside Printing, ca. 1889. Enormous double-sided pictorial letterpress herald (or broadside) with wood engraved images advertising the many acts that make up Locke’s wagon show, with an engaging alphabet design to the verso, each letter heading a verse related to the Locke show (“L stands for Locke, whom everyone knows / Is the Bismark manager of legitimate shows / He is coming this season upon his old track / Much better than ever, it’s a great moral fact.”) Matted to 40 ¾ x 6 ½”. Minor folds and losses visible, but generally very good.
