Barnum & Bailey posters at the Big "E"
This wonderful poster is a one sheet flat printed in French by the Strobridge Litho Co. for the 1902 season of Barnum & Bailey's European tour. It is part of the Chris Berry collection.
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.
