An Original Vintage Linenbacked Circus Poster (measures 28" x 41 1/4" [71 x 105 cm]) (Learn More)

Wallace Bros. Circus, the 1930s stock circus poster created by Donaldson Litho, and featuring artwork of an adult and baby elephant. Note that this poster was likely a stock poster which could be used by any circus. The circus would simply place their name in the blank area at the top. However, we cannot be certain and the only version we have seen has "Wallace Bros. Circus" at the top, so we are listing this poster under that circus' name, but it might have been intended to be used by another circus. If anyone knows more about this, 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 we have never before auctioned this circus poster!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had three horizontal folds and there were extra folds across the center, with creases and some surface paper loss on those folds. There was an 8" tear in the bottom center, with a long horizontal tear above that. There was paper loss in the bottom right corner extending into the black border and some other small paper loss and tears around the edges, in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
