Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows (ca. Late 1930s). Very Good/Fine on Linen. Circus Poster (41" X 79.75").
This bold Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey poster spotlights Hubert Castle, the fearless "King of the Tight Wire," mid-somersault in a dazzling display of acrobatic mastery and circus showmanship. A restored poster that has an overall presentable appearance. Airbrushing and touchup has been applied heavily throughout to address edge and fold wear, creases, pinholes, fold/crossfold separation, chips/chipping further corrected by replacement, and several significant tears. Grades on all restored items are pre-restoration grades.
