In response to yesterday's Clyde Beatty half-sheet

Buckles24, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. From Dave Price As you can see this poster is in rough shape. When we were billing Los Angeles for the Cristiani show I took this out of a window where it had hung in the hot sun for three years and it was all dried up and cracked. When Fred Pfening did the piece on the Zacchinis in 1978 I mailed him the poster so he could photograph it for Bandwagon. You see the show title at the top is different, in fact it is incomplete in that it simply reads, "Clyde Beatty Trained Wild Animal." The cut was obviously intended for a poster that had the word "Circus" somewhere in the artwork. Otherwise it looks much like Chris' poster, of which I did finally get a copy when Kent Ghirard was selling off some of his lithos in the early 1980s. Anyway, there was at least one other version of the poster.
