Hyatt Frost Van Amburgh & Co. Circus Autograph Letter Signed. One page, 7.5" x 9.75", on Van Amburgh & Co's Mammoth Menagerie letterhead, South Bend, Iowa, August 24, 1863. Interesting letter penned by Hyatt Frost, manager of the Van Amburgh circus-menagerie.

Ostrich, Gazelle, Poorer [sic] Bears, Kangaroos, Crown Crains [sic], White Storks and many others." Impressive graphic depictions of the circus head the page. Light age toning. Near fine condition. An excellent early circus item!Auction Info
