Google is my friend, according to the Power House Museum (Sydney):
Poster, circus, 'Do Re Mi' company / Arthur Jandaschewsky, paper, printed by Stewart Black Pty Ltd, Australia, 1910-1922. Designer unknown. Possibly designed by the lithographic printer Stewart Black Pty Ltd, Sydney.
Made by Stewart Black Pty Ltd, Lithographer, Sydney.
The Do-Re_Mi troupe performed in Australia during this time
History notes(Vis à vis the poster held by the PHM and not Ves!)
This poster and the accompanying 'Do Re Mi' poster, belonged to Thelma Job and her husband Harry Job, also known as Will Andrade. He ran Will Andrade's magic shop in Pitt St Sydney. There is some suggestion that Mrs Job worked with Jandy the clown (Arthur Jandaschewsky) as a dancer.
The posters were given to the State Library of NSW by Mrs Thelma Job, widow of Harry Job (Will Andrade). They were not acquired by the State Library, but passed on to MAAS by the State Library's Alan Tasker. Mrs Job told Alan Tasker that she did not mind which institution kept them.
Yup that's it. Powerhouse also has the 3 sheet...I considered it, but too big! Nowhere to put paper that big. I have this up on the wall here as a permanent fixture and look at it several times a day! To say I love it, is an understatement.
I love how mine has the hand print in the red section to the left of the clowns...someone just had to put their paw prints on it before it was dry! Love that stuff..
I have more details on the troupe somewhere but no idea where I've stashed it1
I have only one, from an amazing spanish circus that came to my city. Went there with my girlfriend -now Mrs. 110x75- when we started dating. Bought popcorn and a great poster. Good memories...

Had some good memories of a couple of bottles of 2012 Argento Riserva Malbec we had the other night, no popcorn.
