Original 1909 Barnum & Bailey “Jupiter,” the Balloon

Item Details

Description

Title: Original 1909 Barnum & Bailey “Jupiter,” the Balloon Horse Circus Poster

Date:

Origin:

Dimension: 28 3/4 “ x 38” / 73 x 96.5 cm.

Provenance/Additional Info: Printed by Strobridge Litho of Cincinnati. Between 1909 and 1910, Barnum & Bailey featured a star horse, Jupiter and rider that would seemed to float to the top of the three-ring tent lifted by a hot air balloon. In reality, they were lifted by a pulley system used for safety. The audience never knew as the show was performed at night. It was quite a magical illusion. This poster was originally sold by Rennert’s Auction Gallery who are specialists in posters world wide. It was guaranteed authentic by them as it is by us. The poster has been professionally framed with acid free material. I have managed one photo with our frame while others are in frame. Hence the glare. I have also included a close up of the slight tear that is hard to see. Bid with confidence and please ask questions.
