Christy-CLOWNS (1925) six-sheet

From Chris Berry

As Ol' Whitey points out, the six-sheet is the only SQUARE poster ever used by American Circuses. As 82x82" it was big enough to catch the eye from blocks away - yet fits places where a larger bill wouldn't. This particular litho was produced by Erie Litho and Ptg during a period in the mid-1920s. It was kept folded for over 80 years and photographed for the first time just a few days ago. Original Christy Bros lithos are scarce and highly collectable, and because of its size this particular poster is quite rare, and may be one-of-a-kind.
