Strobridge & Co. Lith.
Pioneiro do cartaz de circo
A Strobridge Lithographing Company era uma fabricante de cartazes publicitários e litografias fundada em 1847 em Cincinnati, Ohio. A empresa leva o nome de Hines Strobridge, que só se juntou à então loja de papelaria em 1854, quando era conhecida como Middleton, Wallace and Company, em homenagem aos seus sócios fundadores E. C. Middleton e W. R. Wallace. Em 1859, a empresa mudou seu nome para Middleton, Strobridge and Company. Strobridge adquiriu a propriedade total de seus parceiros após a Guerra Civil Americana. Ele construiu a primeira fábrica da empresa em 1884 no Canal Miami-Erie no bairro de Over-the-Rhine em Cincinnati. As litografias de Strobridge mais tarde se tornaram um método popular de publicidade para circos e teatros.
