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. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has a snipe glued over the lower edge (that extends it to a total of 21" x 33 3/4"). There are several tiny brown dot stains scattered in various areas of the art (more so at lower left) and there is a small patch of slight discoloration at center. There are three pieces of white paper tape on back of the upper edge, but they were not put there for any restoration purpose and have no effect on the front (other than being slightly visible above the upper blank border). After linenbacking with some proper restoration (at which time the tiny stains and slight discoloration could be removed through chemical means and one could choose to have the snipe removed or left on the poster) it would look great.
