Ringling Barnum TIGER TITLE (1942)

From Chris Berry

As Richard Reynolds pointed out in a previous posting - in addition to the Bel Geddes designed lithos, billposters for the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus of 1942 also had more "traditional" images in their hods. This is one of the "workhorse" posters that first appeared in 1942 and continued to be used for several seasons to follow. Variations of Richard's hippo poster, this piece, and some others were also printed in much larger sizes to be pasted on walls and billboards.
