EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "CIRCUS, c1937" offers a glimpse into the world of the performers and crew of the Federal Theatre Project's Worlds Greatest Circus. Taken by photographer Dick Rose in 1937, this image captures the essence of an era when circuses were at their peak in America. In this portrait, we see a diverse group of individuals who make up the vibrant circus community. The performers are dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect their unique roles under the big top. Their expressions range from stoic to exuberant, hinting at both the challenges and joys they experience as part of this extraordinary profession. The crew members stand alongside them, their presence essential for ensuring smooth operations behind-the-scenes. From rigging equipment to managing logistics, these dedicated individuals play a crucial role in bringing this spectacle to life. The setting is an early exterior scene with a banner proudly displaying "CIRCUS" hanging above them. This backdrop adds an air of excitement and anticipation to the photograph while also serving as a reminder that this is not just any ordinary gathering but rather a place where dreams come true. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that beyond its visual appeal lies a deeper story waiting to be discovered – one filled with passion, dedication, and perhaps even hardships faced by those who dedicate themselves to entertaining others under the magical spell of the circus tent.
