Beautiful Jim Key promotional entranceway

Details

Reference Code2005-015SubtypePhotographDateapproximately 1900Decade1900sDescriptionThis large promotional archway is shaped like a horseshoe and promotes an upcoming performance by Beautiful Jim Key. A crowd of onlookers appears to be waiting for the show to start. The promotional signs read,

Beautiful Jim Key was an Arabian-Hambletonian horse who performed for nine years around the country to large crowds at expositions, world's fairs, schools, and other venues. During these performances, he demonstrated his intelligence and personality through his ability to read, write, spell, and solve math problems. His owner and trainer, Dr. William Key, was a self-taught veterinarian and former slave who championed patience and kindness as the keys to successful horse training. Dr. Key gained the attention of A. R. Rogers, a professional promoter, and the two worked together to showcase Beautiful Jim Key's many talents, especially through the partnership of local humane societies.PersonDr. William KeyPlaceSt. LouisEventLouisiana Purchase Exposition (1904)CollectionBeautiful Jim Key Collection
