19th Century Circus Poster of Dancing Melillo Sisters in America

19th Century Circus Poster of Dancing Melillo Sisters in America

For your consideration I am offering a scarce 19th century Circus Poster of the famed Melillo Sisters performing in America. This poster was made in France as indicated by the stone engravers signature. The poster is huge and measures 38" x 54 inches. As you can see it is all there with expected crease tears. I have it presently mounted without adhesive on acid-free foam board. The fact a poster of this size and rarity has survived is a miracle in itself. Keep in mind you will have to restore the poster as it is fragile but for the most part complete. I can ship the poster as you see it or in folded sections. Shipping for this size lying flat would be quoted by the UPS Store which would do the professional packing required. According to the Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida there are no known examples existing.

I hope someone out there appreciates how rare this poster is and restores to its former glory.
