The Circus Museum at the Big "E"
This Leon Washburn original poster was produced by the Donaldson Lithograph Co. While the colors are not very brilliant, the poster was just exquisite. This one would be pre-1900 as Leon Washburn was out of business by 1900 having sold almost everything by then.
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.
