Description: SUPER RARE CDV - CIRCUS OWNER DAN RICE IN HIS UNCLE SAM OUTFIT & HOLDING A FLAG - You are considering an extremely rare CDV of the legendary Dan Rice; Circus owner, animal trainer, orator, clown and song & dance man. Dan Rice is also attributed to have created the persona of "UNCLE SAM," as his outfit suggests in this rare photo. From his comically large top hat to his stripped vest and pants with suspenders under his boots, you are looking at a major figure in entertainment history. Rice was so popular during his day, that politicians who jump on his bandwagon to attract more publicity, hence the expression was born, "JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON." If you want to own a piece of early American Circus history, then look no further. I will ship this incredibly rare photo carefully packaged by Priority Mail to the lucky winner. CONDITION: Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition of the image and as part of my description. The CDV has excellent contrast, tonal range and sharpness. The mount is in fine condition minus two small clipped corners where the image was most likely inserted into an album at one time. Printed notations can be read at the bottom of the mount and the backside is free of any notations. Here is a super rare and highly desirable image for your own personal collection of photography or to adorn your collection of circus history. NOTE: I will be selling a large number of early American Circus related cabinet cards and CDV's in the coming weeks.
