[JUGGLERS & FAKIRS]. Album of Indian Jugglers and Juggling Ephemera. 1700s ? 1950s. A group of over twenty items plus reproductions and scattered clippings. Included are early nineteenth century handbills for appearances of the Indian Jugglers in London (the same troupes from which Ramo Samee came), hand-colored engravings, clippings on the subject from the eighteenth century and beyond (some from the Stanley Collins collection), A ticket for the Salma Brothers ?electric Egyptian brothers" show, a letterpress handbill (ca. 1818) for the ?Celebrated Indian Juggler (from Seringapatam)" presenting ?dexterity of hand" and more traditional juggling feats with a stone ball and other apparatus. Most 8vo, and generally very good condition. A very good group with some early examples of jugglers appearing in England.
