Willie Holloway, described as a world famous clown in his wife's obituary, performed with both the Barnum and Bailey's circuses. The premises for the performance were lent by the local MP, George W Elliot, who had built the saloon, together with the adjacent theatre and pleasure gardens at West Cliff in Whitby a few years earlier. The paper has been folded into eight, showing the consequent creasing - along which there are short cracks from the edge (not affecting image or printing) in two places, and gentle edge wear.…
