From back cover: "Imaginative circus advertising methods cast their magic over generations of children and the adults they have become, keeping alive a spirited form of visual publicity that is as much a part of the American scene of the wild animals, prancing horses, clowns and beautiful women who perform in the center ring. "For everyone fascinated by the Circus, this book provides a detailed vision of the promotion and posters, billers and banners, and the magnificent hype of the spectacular Big Top."

Dust jacket notes: "Circus Day evokes many different kinds of happy memories. Perhaps what comes to mind are prancing ponies, or ponderous elephants, or tigers and lions, or the graceful flying trapeze act. These are all memories of the performance which, in fact, are still with us today. There are many recollections of events that are gone forever -- getting up early in the morning and going down to the railroad yard to watch the circus unload the red wagons is an experience indelibly etched on the minds of many. It was the sight of scores of dapple-grey Percherons hard at work unloading the train, hauling massive wagons to the showgrounds and spotting their loads in the proper place that, to many, brings back the fondest memories. Everyone seemed to enjoy watching these big draft horses at work. Only on circus days in 'yourtown' could you see this fascinating spectacle. This book covers this aspect of circus day with over 350 magnificent photographs, and with direct quotations from letters and conversations the author has had with boss hostlers and the drivers of the six- and eight-horse teams of horses."

America's Great Circus Parade: Its Roots, Its Revival, Its Revelry

History

Americas

With this book in your hands, you can almost hear the thunder of the horses and the roar of the lions, smell the popcorn, wonder at the breathtaking tricks the spangled aerialist performs high above the sawdust ring. THE CIRCUS IN AMERICA, long out of print, documents with verve and authority this most populist form of American entertainment, using the unsurpassed collections of the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin. The book has 96 full-color reproductions of the eye-popping color posters that announced the arrival of the circus, as well as almost two hundred black-and-white archival photographs of the great circus acts and behind-the-scenes action under the Big Top. The text, written by two long-time circus historians, is informed and amusing.
