An Original Vintage Linenbacked Circus Poster (measures 21" x 28 1/2") (Learn More)

Tom Mix Circus was a 1930s traveling circus ("Tom Mix 'himself' and Tony will positively appear at each performance"; "Tom Mix and Tony [in person]"; "Colossal array of American and European stars"; "Idol of millions - the hero of American youth") run by and starring Tom Mix. Cowboy western movie actor Tom Mix was the headline star of the Sells Floto circus from 1929 to 1932. He was paid $20,000 a week! Unfortunately, the success of that circus caused Mix to leave Sells Floto and after appearing with some other circuses, he started his own circus in 1935, and it ruined him financially (likely because it was during the height of The Great Depression), and it folded in 1938. Note that at the time he headlined in his own circus, he was between 55 and 58 years old, and yet he still performed many of his classic stunts and sharpshooting routines himself! Even more amazing, his horse from his movie days, Tony (The Wonder Horse), appeared with him even through his time in his own circus, when Tony was in his late 30s!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: good. The poster itself was in pretty nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was not well backed, and it was also roughly handled after backing, and it now has many creases scattered throughout and some tears in the borders, and the poster is "lifting" off the linen in many areas. If I owned this great poster, I would have it removed from the old linen and properly re-backed, and afterwards, it will look incredible, and it will likely need only a tiny amount of paint restoration anywhere in the image.
