Note that while this poster is clearly vintage, we do not know for sure when it is from. The 1934 date we give to it was written in pencil in the lower right corner of another example of this poster that we once saw, but of course, that might or might not be accurate (we have also seen circa 1941 attributed to it). If anyone knows more about this poster, please contact us and we will post it here. 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 you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we only once before auctioned this poster, and that was 13 years ago! What IS linenbacking?
