Beautiful selection,
By Bozhoo "DooWiki" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: American Circus Posters (Paperback)
The poster examples span from the last decade of the 19th century to the 1930s and include different shows, not just Ringling & Barnum. There are wonderful images of polar bears, seals, oriental wrestlers, an assortment of Africa animals, goofy machines, and of course, your typical acrobats, trained horses, exotic costumes, and clowns. The art beautifully preserves the lithograph look. The pages are fine enough to frame if you choose. A brief paragraph is included with each poster for reference, date, history about the circus, etc.

LOVE THE OLD-TIME GRAPHICS,

This review is from: American Circus Posters (Paperback)
I bought this book for inspiration and research, in preparation for a stage production of BARNUM. The imagery is fantastic and the inspiration was priceless. It brought me back into the era when the Circus was a vitsl part of our society, an element all but forgotten today.
