An Original Vintage Folded Circus Poster (measures 93" x 125 1/2" [236 x 319 cm]) (Learn More) Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Circus, the circus poster encouraging people to visit a traveling circus and featuring classic circus-themed art! The Cole Bros. Circus was founded in 1884 by William Washington Cole. In the 1930s and 1940s, the circus often worked with noted animal trainer and actor Clyde Beatty (who owned his own show). In 1957, investors merged the two into the Clyde Beatty - Cole Bros. Circus and the show became a major player in the circus industry for over 20 years. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have auctioned only one example of this poster and it sold for $913! Note also that this circus poster was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Most of these items absolutely can only be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. Some of them might SEEM like they could be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet, but they can't. The reason these items are in this auction is specifically because they CAN'T be rolled (because rolling any of them would damage them, even if they somehow can be rolled). So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item when ready for shipping), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. IN THE CASE OF EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, THE SHIPPING COST WILL BE VERY HIGH, SO PLEASE DO NOT BID WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THAT ADDED SHIPPING AMOUNT, AND INCLUDE THAT AMOUNT IN WHAT YOU BID (so if you would pay $150, but the shipping is likely $100, then only bid $50). And those who live outside the U.S. and who do not have a U.S. address to ship to SHOULD NOT BID AT ALL ON EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, BECAUSE THEY COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO SEND OUTSIDE THE U.S. Condition: good to very good. The left half of the poster has slight discoloration along portions of the lower edge and in the second horizontal fold above that edge (mostly noticeable in the blank border at left and in the lower blank border.) The right panel has similar slight discoloration in the lower edge, but also has some along portions of the right most vertical foldline (some can be seen in an areas just above the tiger) and there are some small tears at upper left. The defects are not very distracting especially given its very large size and other than a few areas of minor crossfold separation it is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
