Description from the seller

A striking vintage circus "panel" designed for outdoor telegraph pole and narrow-space advertising.
This is a classic Cole Bros. Circus "Menagerie" poster. This specific layout—with the hippopotamus, giraffes, elephant, lion, and tiger—is one of the most iconic designs they ever produced. It’s highly sought after because it represents the "world's largest menagerie," which was the pride of the Cole Bros. show.
This is an original vintage paper poster for the famous Cole Bros. Circus. This design is a favorite among collectors for its "Noah's Ark" style variety of animals. The artwork features a stunning yawning hippopotamus in the foreground, followed by a charging lion, a leaping tiger, an elephant, and a pair of towering giraffes.
This will pair well with others I have in the auction,shipping can be combined.Note bottom of poster has been trimmed,possibly removing the date tail,were never know ?
