Description from the seller
Original 1970s manifesto dedicated to the historic Circus Sarrasani, a renowned international circus entity active in Europe throughout the twentieth century.
Poster with strong visual impact, featuring a spectacular composition with a tiger and a lion in heraldic position around the globe, accompanied by the famous slogan:
The most popular circus in the world.
The graphic aesthetic is typical of the great European circus posters of the Seventies:
- monumental typography,
- intense and contrasted colors,
- dramatic animal iconography,
- theatrical and spectacular atmosphere.
Extremely decorative and refined manifesto for:
- circus collecting,
- industrial and vintage interior design,
- venues, pubs and creative studios,
- theatrical and retro furnishings,
- enthusiasts of traveling shows and memorabilia of classic circus.
The deep black background and the strong chromatic presence of red, yellow, and blue make the poster particularly scenographic even in contemporary environments.
