{"product_id":"clyde-beatty-cole-bros-co","title":"Cole Bros. Circus","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted in 1981, this Clyde Beatty Cole Bros. Combined Circus poster is a classic slice of late twentieth century American circus advertising. Designed by Roland Butler, one of the most recognizable circus illustrators of the era, it delivers exactly what audiences expected, drama, danger, and pure spectacle. Butler had a gift for capturing motion and tension, and it shows immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt center stage is a lion tamer caught mid confrontation, surrounded by sharp color contrasts and theatrical flair. The punchy blues, yellows, and reds nod to earlier golden age circus posters, while still feeling unmistakably of its time. The typography does its job perfectly, loud, confident, and impossible to ignore, just like the circus itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an original 1981 lithograph, printed using a traditional planographic process prized for rich color and graphic clarity. Promoting a Milford, Connecticut engagement at the Conn Post Center, it is a true regional run piece rather than a generic stock image. A nostalgic artifact from the final decades of America’s great traveling circus tradition, and a strong visual anchor for any wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Size\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36.5\" x 21.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Artist\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roland Butler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Condition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good to Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
