I can't get away from circus posters. This guy looks as if he's about to be fired right across the road. Once again you can see the vintage houses that are found in this part of Mowbray. Many have been restored to fine condition, and others need a little tender loving care.

Printed by Riverside Printing
Milwaukee Wisconsin
Date Unknown
Printers like Riverside produced posters with generic designs such as clowns, wild animals, or performers that could be used by any circus
They left a blank space at the top so a show could add its title later. The printers manufactured these types of posters in large numbers, which made them less expensive than specially crafted posters.
As a result, multiple circuses used the same poster designs, sometimes during the same season and other occasions decades apart.

Stevan Dohanos (1907 – 1994) was born in Lorain, Ohio and grew up a great admirer of Norman Rockwell, going so far as to copy his Saturday Evening Post cover illustrations in crayon that he sold to friends, relatives, and co-workers. Little did he know he would develop a close personal friendship with Rockwell as his own art graced the Post’s cover 123 times over the course of his lifetime.
During World War II, Dohanos aided the war effort by painting recruitment posters and wall murals for federal buildings. He also designed stamps for the federal government which he did the rest of his life. He oversaw the art design for over 300 stamps, including the 1967 John F. Kennedy commemorative stamp.
As magazine covers turned toward photography and away from illustrations, Dohanos changed careers and did film art for such classics as “White Christmas.”
