You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1880s illustrated journal.

It shows a traveling acrobatic or circus show. The girl in the front has a trick dog act -- she is carrying hoops and has two white West Highland Terrier type dogs tucked in her coat. The caption reads: "Strolling Acrobats." The illustration is by H. Gandy.

It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 22 x 16 inches (56 x 40.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. The back of the print is blanks, which means it was probably a rare supplement to the journal.

The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.

The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
