Item Description
28x41" poster features large photo image of clown at left, just above Ringling's "The Greatest Show On Earth" globe logo. 1936-1937. Clown is Pat Valdo, who joined Ringling Bros. as a white-face clown in 1922 and held many executive positions w/Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey including Performance Director and General Director. Valdo created some of the best known clown acts of all time - the midget fire brigade that rushes in and swarms over the burning building, the dog-elephant act, etc. Poster has been folded and shows some lt. scattered edge wear including a few small edge tears. Fine overall but poster remains incredibly bright and clean and could be framed for VF display.
