INDEX TO THE KOBEL CATALOGUE of Human Oddities of Circus Sideshows

Bernard Lyle Kobel was born in 1906. He published 10 catalogs in which he offered for sale reprints of photographs. The catalogs contain descriptive text only. This is an index to his Human Oddities catalog which was published or re-published in 1966. Mr. Kobel died in 1985 and Giovanni Iuliani acquired the rights to all pictures while Bob Blackmar (and now Jeff Murray) obtained the negatives.

The catalog was originally in some sort of order but as it was amended it became a mess. This index is an attempt to put it back in order to be more helpful to researchers.
