EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating circus poster from the late 19th century takes us back to a time of wonder and excitement. Created around 1890, this American lithograph showcases the Sells Brothers Circus, one of the most renowned circuses of its time. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the thrilling elephant races that were a highlight of their performances. The poster depicts an exhilarating scene with elephants adorned in colorful costumes, riders wearing turbans and fezzes, reminiscent of North African Bedouin or Moorish attire. The dynamic composition captures the energy and speed as these magnificent creatures race across the arena, their trunks held high in determination. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect - from the intricate typeface used for "Sells Brothers Circus" to the finely crafted spears carried by some riders. This chromo lithograph transports us into a world where men on elephants become racers competing against each other. As we admire this piece from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, it serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with circuses but also our appreciation for art that encapsulates history. It allows us to appreciate how entertainment has evolved over time while cherishing moments frozen forever through prints like these.
