The Circus
A captivating journey through the golden age of the American circus, an entertainment industry that once reigned as the largest showbiz phenomenon globally. From the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s, traveling circuses held sway, featuring death-defying daredevils, superheroes, starlets, animal trainers, and fascinating "freaks".
This book offers a rich visual exploration of the circus phenomenon, presenting rare photographs of early circus performers alongside original posters, lithographs, sideshow banners, and engravings from the 16th to 19th centuries.
