Barnum & Bailey posters at the Big "E"
This fine poster is from the Chris Berry Collection It is a One sheet upright produced by the Strobridge Litho Co for the 1909 season. Sorry, I couldn't avoid the glare of the lights no matter what angle I took it from.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
