Admission Ticket to a Walter L. Main Circus Concert, 1895
01
Artifact Overview
Many late 19th and early 20th century circuses scheduled additional entertainment after the main show ended. This after-show concert usually had singing, dancing, musical acts or a Wild West exhibition. The concert provided extra revenue for the show's management. Concertgoers had to buy an additional ticket and for a nominal price they could buy a "Songster" filled with texts and lyrics from the performance.
