Jumbo ... the P.T. Barnum Circus Elephant (Wikipedia)
-- Jumbo (1860 – 1885) was a 19th-century male African bush elephant born in Sudan. Jumbo was exported to Jardin des Plantes, a zoo in Paris, and then transferred in 1865 to London Zoo in England. Despite public protest, Jumbo was sold to P. T. Barnum, who took him to the United States for exhibition in March 1882.
-- The giant elephant\'s name spawned the common word \"jumbo,\" meaning large in size. Examples of his lexical impact are phrases like \"jumbo jet\", \"jumbo shrimp,\" \"jumbo marshmallows,\" and \"jumbotron.\" Jumbo\'s shoulder height has been estimated to have been 10 ft 7 inches at the time of his death; his size was claimed to be about 13 ft 1 inches by Barnum. -- In New York, Barnum exhibited Jumbo at Madison Square Garden, earning enough in three weeks from the enormous crowds to recoup the money he spent to buy the animal. In the 31-week season, the circus earned $1.75M, largely due to its star attraction. On May 17, 1884, Jumbo was one of Barnum\'s 21 elephants that crossed the Brooklyn Bridge to prove that it was safe after 12 people died during a stampede caused by mass panic over collapse fears a year earlier.
-- The 1941 animated film Dumbo released by Walt Disney Animation Studios was inspired by the story of Jumbo and is regarded as one of the greatest animated films of all time. Despite the film being fictional, many people have speculated that Jumbo might have been the title character\'s father. + Over 1,000+ more fabulous antique & vintage cards are currently listed at the Dave Cheadle Card Store.
