The story behind the motif
Poster with a vintage advertisement for Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth, one of the most famous circuses in the world during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
In the picture we see The Imperial Viennese Troupe, a group of 15 acrobats performing a "new and impressive aerial act," flying back and forth across the large arena.
The poster is typical of the lively and energetic marketing that the circus used to attract large audiences. The fact that the circus is presenting this as a "new and huge performance" underlines their focus on constantly offering new and sensational acts.
Frame not included.
Please note that the images are cropped slightly differently depending on the size you choose. Read more about image and image quality here: FAQ.
