About This Item

[Philadelphia, 1882?]. Single sheet measuring 91/4 x 11 3/4 inches, folded once, to form [4]pp. Full-page wood engraved illustration signed "Ledger Print Phila." Performance date over printed in red. Perimeter chips, separating along fold line, browning.

A rare four-page circular for Grizzly Adams, a western frontier-themed play: "No Shooting or Yelling Indians, But a Truthfully Depicted Idyl of American Life on the Borders of Civilization."

A full page wood engraving depicts Grizzly Adams' appearance in the first act and gives a synopsis of the play. James "Grizzly" Adams (1812-1860) was a celebrated California mountain man and trainer of grizzly bears.

The circular doubles as a promotional piece for gargling oil liniment, a patent medicine, made by Merchant's Gargling Oil Company.
