About the Item
Printed in the third quarter of the 19th century, this fine poster was printed by Calhoun Print Hartford. The Calhoun Company was noted for its large colorful posters, street banners, show bills and other large format outdoor advertising, using hand carved boxwood blocks, which were usually pasted on a strong cloth with eye-hole edges and suspended over the street with ropes.
What the Calhoun Brothers (later Calhoun Steam Printing Company) excelled at were mammoth theatrical billboards and panoramic scenes for Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Shows. When Calhoun died the firm was taken over by William H. Higgs, Cody’s brother-in-law who rode a white mustang around the streets of Hartford.
To say that this is a rare poster is an understatement. One appeared at auction nearly a decade ago , this circus in town print poster is in very nice clean condition beautifully framed.
This is largely apology free and to find a survivor such as this given the conditions that it endured is rare indeed.
