Pair of Barnum and Bailey 1893 Columbian Exposition Posters (2)

Pair of Barnum and Bailey 1893 Columbian Exposition Posters (2)

In the summer of 1893, <b>1 out of every 4 </b>people in the United States traveled to Chicago to see the 1893 Columbian Exposition, a celebration of the 400th anniversary of Columbus&#39; discovery of Colombia that showcased the innovative wonders of the 19th century. It was the first self-contained entertainment district. There were concessions, theaters, music, shopping, snake charmers and a circus. It was also the home of the first Ferris wheel, which could hold over 2,000 people at one time. These are two incredible mementos of this great exposition. Two posters (31 x 80&quot;) on linen and looking as good as it possibly could. Posters are from Barnum & Bailey&#39;s Circus advertising for the Columbian Exposition. You won&#39;t believe how vivid the colors remain and the condition of these magnificent pieces. Remembrances of note for the circus and the World&#39;s Fair. NRMT
