This is an original news ad of March 15, 1873. My son Michael found it in a small antique shop.  I had to scan it into several parts to get the perfection of the lithograph art work.Tom Thumb is seen near the leg of the hipo just above the snake. What is thrilling to me is his autograph is in part 2 of this ad on the next page. I hope you enjoy this. as I have enjoyed  posting for you these wonderful bits of circus history.
