Item #1

Advertising print of the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth featuring “The Great 40 Horse Team and Ponderous Tableau Band Wagon of the Two Hemispheres. This one vehicle and team representing a outlay of over $50,000”. Print in 11.5 x 16 inches. I do not see a year printed, but it was from before WW1 as Austria and Germany are listed on the flags and medallions. Color is great. The top and bottom each of the print is not a straight cut, so this was clipped from something. Only flaw I see are small pin holes in each corner. It is sealed in plastic wrap on a hard board. It will be taken out anrolledin a tube for shipping.
