Ringling-Barnum Daub 1924


This is a classic billposter's daub from 1924, featuring a couple of six sheets for Lillian Leitzel and The Reiffenach Sisters. The boys from the bill car did their magic, not only covering the shed - but also cutting out space for the windows without affecting the integrity of the posting.

Chris,
Thanks for a great look at the past on circus billing.
what I noticed above both windows is a Wait for the big show looks like a 1 sheet.
Now they either used this to fill in or if another circus was coming this is real small for a Wait poster.
Usually the WAIT'S I have seen scream WAIT in very large letters.
