Description from the seller
Original advertising poster dedicated to Cirque Achille Zavatta, one of Europe’s most famous circuses, featuring the legendary clown Achille Zavatta (1915–1993).
** RESERVE PRICE below €40 **
The image, with strong visual impact, depicts Zavatta with his iconic makeup, the red nose and the distinctive gesture directed toward the viewer, turning the poster into an effective example of European circus graphics from the second half of the twentieth century.
The composition is dominated by the lively blue background and the large yellow headline, typical elements of advertising intended for urban street posting. The illustrative quality and the intense expressiveness of the face contribute to making this poster particularly sought after by collectors of circus memorabilia and vintage advertising graphics.
The poster was printed by Impro-Vision – Ambert (France), as indicated along the margin.
Dimensions: 106 × 78 cm.
Conditions
Poster in generally good condition.
Shows:
- original folds from street posting;
- slight signs of use and conservation;
- some light waviness and small deformities at the folds;
- minimal surface marks and a small abrasion along one side edge;
- back with faint handwritten period annotations, typical of use for distribution and display.
The print retains very vivid colors and an excellent visual impact.
The photographs are an integral part of the description.
Shipping
The poster will be folded and shipped with tracked and insured shipping.
