An Original Vintage Folded Circus Poster (measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) The Dan Rice Circus (also known as the "Dan Rice 3 Ring Circus") was founded in 1848 by entertainer Dan Rice. Rice was a man of many talents, and in the span of his career he was a clown, animal trainer, songwriter, commentator, political humorist, strong man, actor, director, producer, dancer, and politician (he ran for Senate, Congress, and President of the United States but dropped out of each race). During the height of his career, Rice was a household name and he coined the terms "One Horse Show", "Greatest Show on Earth", and "Jump on the Bandwagon" began when Rice invited Presidential candidate Zachary Taylor to ride on Rice's circus bandwagon. However, with changes in circus venues and popular culture after the Civil War, his legendary talents have gradually slipped into almost total historical obscurity such that in 2001, biographer David Carlyon called him "the most famous man you've never heard of". If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! It is also that only Dan Rice circus poster we have ever auctioned. We are guessing it is for the 1930s and we would be surprised if it was from later than that, and it might be from the 1920s.
