EDITORS COMMENTS
Step Right Up: A Moment in Circus History - c.1888 This enchanting engraving captures a small but intrepid group of circus performers on the move, as they pack up their belongings and hitch up their horse-drawn carts for the next fairground destination. The year is circa 1888, a time when the circus was still a novel and thrilling form of entertainment, and the thrill of the big top was matched only by the excitement of the journey itself. The scene is one of industrious activity, as acrobats, jugglers, and animal trainers work together to load their equipment and animals into the waiting carts. The horses, harnessed and ready to go, stand patiently, their breath visible in the crisp morning air. The performers, dressed in their colorful costumes, are a vibrant contrast against the muted tones of the winter landscape. The circus, a microcosm of excitement and wonder, was an essential part of the social fabric of the late 19th century. It brought people together from all walks of life, offering a brief respite from the daily grind and a chance to experience the extraordinary. The circus performers, with their skill and agility, were the embodiment of human potential, pushing the boundaries of what was possible and inspiring awe and admiration in their audiences. As the circus caravan sets off on its next adventure, we are reminded of the rich history and tradition that continues to captivate us to this day. The engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit and the enduring allure of the circus, a testament to the power of imagination and the thrill of the unknown.
