Caldonia Concert and Film Posters

 At the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Arts, they had an exhibition called "Caldonia Concert and Film Posters" These vintage posters were from the Ralph DeLuca Collection. DeLuca is a collector and appraiser of memorabilia.

These posters highlight was known as the "Chitlin Circuit".

It was so very cool to see these posters and learn a little bit about the history of these great performers.
