EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage circus handbill from the late 19th century, specifically around 1884. The focal point of this American handbill is none other than Jumbo the elephant, an iconic figure in Barnum, Bailey and Hutchinson Circus. Crafted through wood engraving techniques, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of that era. The image portrays an exterior scene with Jumbo proudly displayed as the main attraction. The advertisement features intricate details such as a horse-drawn carriage with reins held by a dapper driver. Jumbo's massive presence dominates the composition, emphasizing his status as a giant among elephants. The typography used in this handbill adds to its charm and authenticity. The typeface chosen for "CIRCUS HANDBILL" evokes nostalgia while also reflecting the boldness associated with circuses during that time period. This remarkable piece belongs to Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection and is credited to The Granger Collection. It serves as both a visual delight and historical artifact, offering viewers a glimpse into America's rich circus culture during Phineas T. Barnum's reign.
