[QUOTE="mforder, post: 4008310, member: 20023"][B][U]Item #11:[/U][/B] I went to the Handbill and Broadside binder. Paged past this a number of times because it is folded. It measures about 18"x9". This is a broadside from the "Wood's Museum" formerly know as "Barnum's American Museum" which in this case was the one in New York City. What I found interesting is that it offered a lot of the things that a business would simply be shut down for, look closely and you can be the judge of that. "Baby Woman" this was a two or three year old child that prematurely reached puberty. Yup time to close the doors in todays world and I couldn't blame anyone for that. Look up Comodore Foot (Charles Nestle) he met and spoke with President Abraham Lincoln and First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln. He also performed in England for Queen Victoria. If you see any other interesting things please feel free to add them to this thread. Hope you enjoy it.... [ATTACH=full]326015[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]326016[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
