EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and prepare yourselves for an unforgettable musical experience as we present to you the promotional music sheet for "Jumbos March" by George Barnham, a musical composition inspired by the most talked-about event of 1882. This illustration, created by the renowned artist Alfred Concanen, takes us back in time to the height of Victorian entertainment. The controversy of the year unfolded when Jumbo, the beloved elephant from London Zoo, was sold to the American impresario, P.T. Barnum. Once a beloved icon for children's rides, Jumbo had become too dangerous to continue in this role. This musical piece and its accompanying artwork serve as a poignant reminder of the elephant's legacy and the excitement he brought to audiences during his time in London. As you gaze upon this beautiful illustration, imagine the joy and anticipation that filled theatres and music halls during the 1880s as people gathered to enjoy live performances and be entertained. The singer, performer, or entertainer, as they were known in those days, would take the stage, and with a wave of their hand, the orchestra would strike up the lively notes of "Jumbos March." The audience would clap and cheer, their spirits lifted by the infectious rhythm and the memories of the beloved elephant that started it all. Join us in this journey through time as we celebrate the rich history of music and entertainment, and let the captivating melody of "Jumbos March" by George Barnham transport you back to an era of leisure, enjoyment, and the simple pleasure of a live performance.
