100 Years of Circus Posters

Here are some examples of circus posters through history and the development through the years.
These are some examples of classic screen printed posters, shown here are quite advanced examples of multilayered and multicoloured circus posters that would have been used to grab the attention of the intended audience.
These posters would be displayed among many other posters, and the posters job is to jump out and catch the eye of potential audience members.

Since these posters are quite bright and eye catching they have a higher chance of selling tickets, thus making them more money allowing them to create more exciting and eye catching posters.
People may think that posters like these are merely a decorative  add on to the circus tent and arena but the posters are where it all begins.
