This is a Cole Bros. Circus poster featuring their "Blood Sweating Hippopotamus." The poster measures 14 x 22 inches and I find it curious that they would ignore advertising their biggest star, lion tamer Clyde Beatty, who was with the Cole Bros Circus from 1935-1938, but I guess they were hoping that a sweat bleeding hippo would draw them in. Printed by Erie Litho Company of Erie, Pennsylvania, this piece is very clean and ready to collect. Please see photos for more detail and condition.
