Things washed up on this beach are mostly just something that I like - things that inspire me. Sometimes I post my own work, some of my photos. Mostly I just reblog stuff from other tumblrs - I don't own any of these works. Sorry if I reblogged something you've created or laid claim to, that happend totally not intentional! Just let me know and I will remove it from my blog.  Anyways, I hope you enjoy and thank you for watching! :)

    This #FelineFriday feature is from the back wrapper on our copy of A Brief Biographical Sketch of I.A. Van Amburgh (New York, 1860). Van Amburgh is credited with developing the first trained wild animal act, and would often place his bare arm, and sometimes his head, within the jaws of a wild cat. His act influenced many circus performances after him. 

    Known as “The Lion King”, Van Amburgh was criticized in his time for his brutal treatment of animals.

    A Brief biographical sketch of I.A. Van Amburgh.  New York, Samuel Booth, 1860.
