an old poster with the names of some famous bands and their name on it's back

beneathpaper: Legendary circus hustler PT Barnum used to put a sign at his overcrowded American Museum: This Way To The Egress. Visitors would assume that an egress was some kind of amazing creature, like the Bearded Lady or Iguana Boy, so they’d flock through the door and find themselves out in the street. Because ‘egress’ means ‘exit’, and if they wanted to get back in, they’d have to pay ol’ PT again. I love reading about old circus people.

ringling bros, barnum & alley circus book with elephant and buckets on the cover

A sampling of colorful ads from a Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus souvenir program from their 91st season of entertainment in 1961. This program is so huge in overall size that the full-page singles, and double page spreads wouldn't even begin to fit on my scanner... I apologize for the somewhat less than stellar photos taken with my crummy camera instead. (And please, no jokes about the cute pink elephant on the cover giving the kid a BJ.)
