Date Sold 12/9/2012Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Folded Circus Poster (measures approximately 7 feet by 20 feet) (Learn More) The Cole Bros. Circus was a medium-sized American circus which was founded in 1884 as W.W. Cole's New Colossal Shows by William Washington Cole. In the 1930s, the circus employed two noted animal trainers, Clyde Beatty and Allen King, both of whom traveled in their own railroad cars. Another well-known performer with the circus was Bob Strehlau (Juggles the Clown). In 1957, investors merged Beatty's show with the circus to form the Clyde Beatty - Cole Bros. Circus and the show became a major player in the circus industry for over 20 years. In the 1980s, the last surviving investor gifted the circus to Florida State University who later sold it to John W. Pugh who renamed the show back to Cole Bros. Circus. As of 2016 the show was essentially defunct, largely in response to animal rights activists advocating against the use of animals for live performances. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this massive circus billboard poster (measuring approximately 7 feet by 20 feet!) was printed in 8 sections designed to overlap (some of the sections were glued together; see below). Condition: good to very good. The poster was originally printed in 8 sections and some of them had been glued together so it is now in two very large pieces. It is printed on a heavy paper stock similar to that used for 40x60 movie posters, and it is NOT printed on thin one-sheet-like stock. There is some faint water staining and rippling scattered through the poster and some minor defects around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
