The actual inside pocket of the press folder is autographed by Antoinette Concello, "The Queen of the Air". Concello was featured in the Cecil B. DeMille classic "The Greatest Show on Earth" (1952). She is noted as the most famous aerial performer of her time and the first woman to successfully complete the triple somersalt at her live shows. <br /> <br /> Original handouts and photos in very good condition. The folder a bit worn and creased at edges. A few closed tears. Overall, a nice copy of a very rare 1970's circus press kit.
