1876 ROCHESTER NY NEWSPAPER PT BARNUM CIRCUS ADVERTISING BUFFALO BILL EXPLOSION. With neat advertising for PT Barnum's Greatest Show on Earth. Also a neat article about casualties where a premature explosion from the cannon on the Steamship Connecticut at Sandy Hook while firing a salute, shattered the arm of the gunner, a man named Buffalo Bill took over and there was a 2nd accidental explosion when sparks landed in the munitions box. 4 pages, heavy edge wear, creasing and wrinkling, 3" taped tear on right side above circus advertising. It measures 22 1/2"w x 27"h. A nice find. Failure to read full description may result in delays and misunderstandings. Please look elsewhere if you feel shipping charge quoted is too high. I do not set rates and can’t afford to absorb these costs, being a small operation. Charge calculated by packed size, weight and ship to destination from NY. I do not offer free shipping and do not accept best offers with shipping included.
