Over the past few years several vintage circus billpostings – “daubs” – have been uncovered as remodeling or demolition is done on buildings throughout the United States. This Ringling Bros daub from 1910 was uncovered in 2007 in the tiny farming town of Vincent, Iowa. The posters have since been restored – saving an image which had been covered by tar paper and shingles for nearly 100 years.
