1949 Bertram Circus Clown Mills Pointed Postwar Programme Season
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and prepare to be enchanted by the magical world of Bertram Mills Circus, as depicted in this vibrant programme cover from the summer season of 1949. The image captures the joy and excitement of the circus experience, with a cheerful clown in a white, painted face and pointed hat, beckoning audiences with a warm and inviting smile. His colourful costume, adorned with red and blue stripes, adds to the lively atmosphere of the circus. The programme cover is a testament to the postwar spirit of the 1940s, a time when people sought escape and entertainment amidst the challenges of rebuilding after the Second World War. The circus, with its blend of acrobatics, music, and comedy, offered a much-needed respite from the daily grind. Bertram Mills Circus was a renowned British circus that had been entertaining audiences since the early 20th century. The summer season of 1949 marked a new chapter in the circus's history, as it continued to bring joy and wonder to generations of spectators. This programme cover is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring appeal of the circus. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the big top, and to experience the magic of the circus once more.
