In 1989, Howard Feld, CEO of the owner of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus commissioned William Woodward to paint a mural illustrating the highlights of the circus over time, including many of its best known performers.
The brilliant mural originally greeted visitors to the circus headquarters in Virginia. It was later moved to Sarasota along with the circus' headquarters. It is too big to capture in a single image.
