EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing moment in the world of circus acrobatics. Taken around 1890, it showcases a group of talented female acrobats gracefully suspended on trapezes, defying gravity with their daring stunts. The image was beautifully reproduced by Calvert Litho Co, renowned for their exceptional artistry in colour lithography. The composition exudes the essence of Art Nouveau style, with its flowing lines and delicate details that enhance the ethereal beauty of these skilled athletes. This poster-like print served as an advertisement or promotional piece for circus performances during that era. The United States was captivated by this form of entertainment at the time, and this image perfectly embodies the excitement and wonder associated with circuses back then. It is a testament to both graphic design and fine art images from that period. Now part of a private collection, this rare photograph offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing the incredible athleticism and strength possessed by these female acrobats. Their courage to perform such death-defying acts continues to inspire awe even today. With its timeless appeal, this stunning print serves as a reminder of how communication design can capture our imagination and transport us to another world – one filled with magic under the big top.
