This collection contains periodicals, clippings, correspondence,
photographs, posters, and other memorabilia relating to the circus from the
collection of
Joseph Matthew
Heiser, Jr. (
1897-1987), a well-known Houston
naturalist (see MSS 246, J. M. Heiser Jr. Environmental Collection) and
long-time circus fan who served in both World Wars and was employed by the
Texas Company as an accountant.
The collection documents the circus mainly through its advertising
material. It contains over 800 posters from the 1890s to the present, as well
as several hundred date sheets, most from Texas performers and specifically the
Houston region. The collection also contains brochures, handbills, window
cards, programs, and an extensive collection of newspaper clippings.
Also represented are Heiser's activities as a circus fan. He was a
member of such organizations as Circus Fans of America, the Circus Historical
Society, and Circus Model Builders, and the collection includes records of
local meetings, conventions, and a substantial run of magazines published by
these organizations.
During the 1930s and 1940s, Heiser took many behind the scenes
photographs of performers in the "back yard" or back lots of the circus. These
photographs were often featured in
White Tops, the magazine of the Circus
Fans of America. Most of these photographs, which are not of specifically local
interest, have been donated to the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin.
However, the Heiser-Alban Collection contains over 1400 photographs.

Note The list is arranged alphabetically by circus, then
chronologically. Unnamed circuses and posters for events that are not circuses
are at the end. Each lithograph has a unique number, starting with the
collection number (257), followed by the circus number, followed by the item
number. The letter D added to the number indicates the presence of a duplicate
copy. See also references at the end of an entry indicate other lithographs
with the same image, one image clearly derived from another, or images designed
as companion pieces. Source specifies who Mr.
Heiser received the
lithograph from, if he did not collect it himself. |
