Beschreibung
Half title, front., plates, illus. Orig. green cloth. White, pink & blue pictorial d.w., unclipped. Inscribed with a drawing of a lion 'To Mr Justice Cassels with the author's compliments G. Tyrwhitt-Drake'. An engaging study, including chapters on 'The Circus in Ancient History', 'Circus Proprietors and their Families', and 'Performing Animals and their Training'. Garrard Tyrwhitt-Drake, 1881-1964, a likeable eccentric was Mayor of Maidstone and High Sheriff of Kent. His picture of a lion is well-executed, and presumably drawn from life: he kept the largest private zoo in the country. Readers are directed to Private Zoo, a Pathé short of him feeding his various beasts, which can be watched on YouTube. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 101459
