Step Right This Way: The Photographs of Edward J. Kelty,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From BooklistThe successor to Barth and Alan Siegel's eyepopping One Man's Eye (2000) is also concerned with a particular person's vision, this time not photo collector Siegel's but that of a professional banquet photographer with a sideline in circus publicity. Edward J. Kelty's circus pictures, taken from the mid1920s to the 1940s, consist of group portraits of clowns, sideshow attractions, bands, elephants, menageries, aerialists, equestrians, tractor and train crews, candy butchers (seen with their backs turned to show the 'Baby Ruth Candy' logo on their smocks), and even everybody in the RinglingBarnum cookhouse tent on July 4, 1935. He also lensed stars such as liontamer Clyde Beatty, teenage tightrope walker Harold Barnes, and Hugo Zacchini, Human Projectile (posed atop his cannon), 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 12by20inch images. Reproduced here at about twofifths that size and as originally tinted (sepia or cyan) when appropriate, they are scrumptious, sometimes outrageous (see 'Cheerful Gardner,' who worked with elephantssheesh!) eyecandy.
