"The circus collection made its debut at Shelburne Museum in 1959 when founder Electra Havemeyer Webb (1888-1960) acquired Roy Arnold's scale model circus parade . Inspired by the museum's acquisition, the family of Mrs. Webb's cousin Harry T. Peters, Sr. (1882-1948) donated his massive collection of circus posters . This gift was complemented by Roy Arnold's donation in 1965 of the posters he had displayed as a backdrop for his hand-carved parade at public venues and charity events. Today the Circus Building features changing exhibits of Shelburne Museum's poster collection along the inner wall of the concourse, opposite the Arnold parade. The collection is comprised of more than 500 wood-cut prints, lithographs, and serigraphs dating from the late-18th through the middle decades of the 20th century"--P. 3.
