{"value"=>"<p>This series includes mostly production materials, programs, and clippings for the Red and Blue Units of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, which Richard Barstow staged with Edith’s assistance. Richard Barstow’s production notes often include diagrams and written notes on the various circus routines, such as the Opening, “Spec,” “Menage,” “Web,” and Finale. There are several notebooks with copies of costume designs, including some by Miles White, published sheet music with songs by John Ringling North and Henry Sullivan, and a folder of memorabilia, including a publicity brochure autographed by aerialist Philippe Petit. Additional circus materials may be found in the Photographs, Oversized, and Scrapbooks series.</p>"}
