Abstract:
Cut cover page, showing an array of wild animals on exhibit from July 15-16, 1835, "near the Catholic Church." Traveling menagerie: Menagerie and Aviary, Zoological Institute New York. Includes zebra, elephant (with riders, seemingly an indigenous American man, a navy officer, and a dark-skinned woman), armadillo, monkey, leopards, tiger, lioness, giraffe, ostriches (one with a black child riding on it), a rhinoceros, and more. NB: The Clements Library acquired this newspaper cutting separately from the Burrough papers and we are currently unclear about whether or not this shows one of the rhinoceroses imported by Marmaduke Burrough in the mid-1830s.
