This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 4/12/2019
Poster measures 55-1/2" long x 20" wide, not counting frame. Printed by the Riverside Print Company of Milwaukee and Chicago. This is a beautiful multi-color stone lithography that features several action scenes to include Arabs on racing camels, women playing equestrian football in full cowgirl garb, a scene of charging Indians in full headdress in front of the grandstands, and a large colorful scene of a real Indian war dance complete with weapons. CONDITION: There is some horizontal creasing in two places from being folded and some very minor border tears, none of which interfere with the image that has been completely blacklighted and shows no signs of repaint or inpainting. Colors are bright as new with no fading. Framed in a simple black frame using Plexiglas to reduce weight. Impressive, early litho with lots of action and Indians. We are assuming it was the Jones Brothers that owned in in 1910-11 where it was sold and became the Kit Carson Buffalo Ranch and combined circus from 1911-14; this poster mentions nothing about a circus, so we are assuming this is the scarce Jones Bros poster.
Condition: (Very Good).
Item Dimensions: Framed : 57 -1/2" x 22 -1/2".
