From Chris Berry - Ringling-Barnum Equestrian Litho (Washington, DC -
1933)
About a decade after the lithograph above was printed by Strobridge, this version was reworked by the artists at Central Printing and Illinois Litho. This one sheet was used to promote a two-day stand in Washington DC during the spring of 1933. |

Were all 1 sheets the same size
or just about the same size I
believe Dave said that horizontal
style is called "flat"
The real sharp-eyed guys probably noticed that the skirt became shorter in ten years.
Might these 2 posters have had
their dates printed together
The date lines look very even to
have been pasted on
Not only shorter but revealing
Nice catch for older eyes
Chic: It is possible that the dates were printed on but it would be unusual in this day and time.
"Slipping up" the tails was done with some degree of care so that they appeared to be even.
That makes sense to me on 2nd look
the "tails" are printed wider than
the "flat" 1 sheets above them
Thanks again
Sorry I'm just know weighing in on this date tail. I typically like to have the date tail mounted on linen along with the litho when I am having a poster restored. The linen baker will take the tail off then put them together on the linen - that is why is is perfectly matched up here (probably a little more centered then when the boys on car originally slapped paste on it...)
