Book Reviews of American Circus Posters (Dover Fine Art, History of Art)
Book Review: Beautiful selection
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
