An Original Vintage Folded Circus Poster (measures 17 1/2" x 28") (Learn More)

Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus, a 1943 circus poster ("Merle Evans Director of Music"; "The Greatest Show on Earth") featuring art of the "Bandwagon". Merle Evans was a cornet player and circus band conductor who conducted the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus for fifty years. Evans was inducted into the American Bandmasters Association in 1947 and the International Circus Hall of Fame in 1975. The modern version of the circus started in 1919 when the Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth, a circus created by P. T. Barnum and James Anthony Bailey, was merged with the Ringling Bros. World's Greatest Shows. With weakening attendance and high operating costs, the circus closed on May 21st, 2017 after 146 years.
Artist: Bill Bailey
Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded across the middle at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good. The poster measures 17 1/2" x 28", and there is a snipe glued to the bottom border of the poster which gives the play dates and location of the show. There are creases and smudges around the edges of the poster, but overall, it is in pretty good condition, and after a simple linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look great!
