The "Princess" was Victoria Codona who died in 1983. Her obituary in NYT is here: https://www.nytimes.com/1983/08/14/obituaries/victoria-cordona-adolph-dies-former-star-in-circus-was-92.html
"The Sells Floto Circus was a combination of the Floto Dog & Pony Show and the Sells Brothers Circus that toured with sideshow acts in the United States during the early 1900s." (Wikipedia)
In 2014, the U.S. post office issued official stamps honoring this poster as part of its commemoration of vintage circus posters.
