RINGLING BROS CIRCUS POSTER PRINT WILD SIBERIAN TIGER 5

This particular male tiger also appears in a companion poster that we have in our circus collection that shows only the face of the tiger and was probably also done by Bull but no one knows for sure. To see that poster CLICK HERE.

Phineas T. (for Taylor) Barnum was born on July 5, 1810 and died on April 7, 1891. In those eighty-one years he made his name synonymous with showmanship and brought hucksterism to new heights. After a series of business failures, Barnum bought Scudder’s American Museum in New York City and turned it into the world’s greatest freak show whose acts included Tom Thumb and Grizzly Adams. He retired from show business in 1855 after a triumphal tour of Europe with Tom Thumb. However, he returned in 1871 to create a traveling circus and freak show that he called “the greatest show on earth”. In 1881 he merged with James Bailey and the new Barnum and Bailey circus operated until his death. In the early 1900’s the show was sold to Ringling Brothers to create the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey circus which survives to present day.

The five Ringling Brothers founded their circus in the 1880s and were one of a dozens of circuses/wild animal shows that traveled the country. Their success made them one of the largest of such shows. After buying Barnum and Bailey the brothers at first operated the shows as two separate shows. In 1917 the two shows were combined and for the next ten years achieved phenomenal success. The depression began the decline of the show—ending with the final performance under a big top in 1956. Irvin Feld brought the company out of stagnation by playing in large metropolitan arenas. The Feld family is today one of the best known entertainment companies in the world

This is a must have for the person who enjoys collecting circus memorabilia.
