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

It depicts 10 views of the arrival, set-up and life of the circus in a country town. The views shown include the raising of the tent, part of the procession (horses and trick riders), a field day for the amateur photographer, elephants, horses, and the performance.

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. There is unrelated text/photos on the back of this print.

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 print has a smudge on the caption over the word "THE". It has some other minor stains. Still a nice rare circus print. See scan for accurate condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
