Seils-Sterling HODGINI FAMILY One-Sheet (c.1938)
This one sheet was printed for Seils-Sterling about the same time that the
rehashed Christy wall work was posted in Madison Wisconsin in the spring of
1937. This poster is more indicative of the quality (or lack thereof) of the
artwork which came from Central Show Print during that period. We may never
know for certain, but it appears that the leftover stock from Riverside,
especially the Christy paper, was moved from Milwaukee to Mason City, Iowa at
some point with some of the old stock being reworked and used by Seils-Sterling,
and the remainder sold to circus fans and collectors years 20 years later. Many
of those posters remain in collections today, a great example of fine poster
lithography for a title that is now only remembered by those of us who read
circus history, and of course Buckles' Blog!

Thanks Chris for a very interesting morning seeing these old posters.
I have seen some pictures of Dailey Bros using some old Christy paper as well as good old Floyd King in 1946 and he used the Christy title in tact.
Riverside must have printed a ton of paper Christy.
We also learned that on here that Art Miller took a Christy Meg to enquirer and they rehashed it and made Al G. Kelly and Miller Bros there meg poster.
Central sure did crummy printing compared to Riverside.
Thanks again so much Chris.
