The
modern circus traces its origins to the mid 18th century in England. Circuses
were initially mobile centers of entertainment. By the 19th century however,
permanent circuses took hold in a number of large European cities.
In
the United States, the circus began in 1792. In 1871, a huge circus in Brooklyn
put up what was known as "The Greatest Show on Earth". The Ringling
Bros. organized their first circus in 1884 and ran a series of successful circus
shows in the United States.
Vintage
circus posters help us capture the golden moments of this era of entertainment,
little of which is left today.

information on other vintage posters is also
