Step right this way : the photographes of Edward J. Kelty

Kelty, Edward J. ; Barth, Miles ; Siegel, Alan ; Hoagland, Edward
New York : Barnes & Noble Books, 2002

Edward J. Kelty's circus pictures, taken from the mid-1920s to the 1940s, consist of group portraits of clowns, sideshow attractions, bands, elephants, menageries, aerialists, equestrians, tractor and train crews, candy butchers and even everybody in the Ringling-Barnum cookhouse tent on July 1935. He also lensed stars such as lion-tamer Clyde Beatty, teenage tightrope walker Harold Barnes, and Hugo Zacchini, Human Projectile, and interior and exterior panoramas of circuses pitched in Tarrytown, Terre Haute, and other fair burghs. Kelty used a specially made "banquet" camera that produced 12-by-20-inch images. Reproduced here at about two-fifths that size and as originally tinted when appropriate, they are scrumptious, sometimes outrageous. [editore resume]

Step right this way : the photographs of Edward J. Kelty

Kelty, Edward J., 1888-1967 ; Barth, Myles ; Siegel, Alan ; Hoagland, Edward

Each summer, Edward J Kelty, a Manhattan banquet photographer active from the 1920's through the 1940's, would load his enormous camera into a small truck and follow the circus, first up and down the East Coast and eventually throughout the United States. His extraordinary photographs captured the spirit and atmosphere of the big top, and with a poof of flash powder preserved mesmerizing images of the horse wranglers, acrobats, ticket-takers, candy butchers, teeterboard tumblers and sideshow exotics that populated the colorful world of the traveling circuses. Kelty was the Cecil B. DeMille of circus photographers, at times assembling as many as one thousand circus performers for spectacular group shots. Particularly popular were his annual Congress of Freaks photographs, which gathered together the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus sideshow attractions-from Ajax the sword swallower to Eko and Iko, the ambassadors from Mars- for a class picture. He sold these group photos as well as prints depicting individual performers, circus lots, and big top interiors, to circus owners, performers and fans. (The Publisher)
