As you can see I am very happy with my new find and it is in fine condition. I found it in a second hand store in Florida. There is another poster similar to this one, it was printed in 1886 before Barnum and Bailey became part of Ringling Bros.

Hagenbeck & Wallace winter quarters in Peru, Indiana 1930. It is said that Clyde would never lay off for any amount of time, maybe a day or two . He was always in practice with his cats if he was not doing shows or publicity shots.

After the passing of Clyde Beatty in 1965, there was another trainer with a great deal of talent to take Beatty’s place in the arena. Dave Hoover was no amateur…. he was swift and commanded the steel cage.
