Ringling Bros & Barnum & Bailey Circus Posters
This amazing collection of RB&B&B posters has a one-owner provenance as follows:
My wife and I were co-presidents of our kids PTA back in 1988.  We were the organizers of a school-wide carnival with all kinds of different fun activities with a circus theme.
To highlight the theme, we contacted the main office of the RB&B&B circus in
Washington
,
DC
and requested some free posters to hang up in the school.  They generously sent us an amazing assortment of posters, which were hung up in the school for three days and then carefully removed and put back in the shipping tube from which they were mailed.
Some 30 plus years later I came across the bright orange mailing tube (which is included in the sale)in the back of the closet in our spare bedroom.  When we took them out we were amazed at the great condition they are still in.  The colors are vibrant and alive as are the wonderful circus scenes depicted.
Here is a listing of the posters included in the sale:
Black Panther P18-118
Seals  P20-120
