     A small songster W. W. Cole Circus Songster of the 1800′s, which measured 4×6 inches in size and contained 32 pages with approximately the same number of songs. Its title was “W. W. Cole’s Equestrian Songster,” and it was said to contain “a choice selection from the best songs ever published, sentimental and humorous, also including a large number of new and original songs written and sung by Ernest, the famous English clown,” whose picture appeared on the cover. Al Richards was proprietor of privileges, and had charge of the songster sales. Most of the songs in the little volume were credited to W. T. Sears, while uncredited numbers were probably the work of Ernest. Others were listed as songs sung by Clowns Billy Andrews and Charley Adams, and the “original” Georgia Minstrels. This book is in good condition with small marks, tears and small missing pieces along edge and spine has a split as shown in the video.. All issues have our dealer stamp on an interior page. "Please see video for the very best description"
