Ringling Barnum CLOWN & TENTS (c.1926)

The "Tent City of 1926" Ringling Barnum (From Chris Berry)

This classic image of a clown over a spread of canvas was first used by Barnum & Bailey and resurrected by Strobridge in the mid-1920s to promote Ringling-Barnum. Variations were used by Sells Floto, Robbins Bros and a variety of other circuses including a window card version used by Sells & Gray throughout the 1960s and 70s.
