Aurora Zouaves European Tour Diary and Ephemera. 1901. Binder with ephemera of the Aurora Zouaves, the precision marching team that was famous through the second half of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century. The Buffalo Bill Wild West Show, Barnum and Bailey, and Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Circus were among the many prominent venues that included them in their programs. This lot includes a manuscript diary describing, in detail, the various places the troupe toured while in Europe, in very literate and readable style, accompanied by cabinet cards and cartes-de-visite of Zouaves in costume, programs, parade photographs, and various other items. Very good.
