Christy Bros 5 Ring Wild Animal Circus Poster

AMERICANA - Circus Poster Art. Christy Bros. 5 Ring Wild Animal Show Circus Poster. A superb chromo-lithograph poster depicting a large crowd of people walking through rows of cages and pens holding many species of animals in various sizes, including a row of elephants on the right edge, and a rhinoceros and two hippopotamuses in the foreground. Circa 1925. Measures a full 42 x 28 inches in magnificent color! Executed by the Riverside Print Company, NY. Laid onto hard backing board, the print shows the usual minor fraying and chipping in the unprinted borders, with one minor loss of image at left bottom. It is interesting to note that the National Endowment for the Arts Millennium Project chose this particular image when they were looking at classic Circus posters. Another copy located at the Billy Rose Theatre Collection in the NY public library, in similar condition. Would look great framed!
