Ringling Bros. Poster Signed by Lou Jacobs (c.1965)

Features a 41” x 25” Lou Jacobs Signed Lithograph in a 47” x 31” Gold Frame. Art is of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus poster featuring Lou Jacobs ‘The Clown’ (c.1965). Johann Ludwig Jacob, professionally known as Lou Jacobs, was a German-born American auguste clown who performed for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus for more than 60 years. He was inducted into the International Clown Hall of Fame in 1989. This piece could actually be from the 1930’s, and it may not simply be a lithograph but rather a hand painted work. I have scoured the internet and found no other example of such a piece so that leads me to the conclusion that this is extremely rare, possibly even 1/1. I've already had and declined an offer for $3500 before.
