EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Walker Evans in 1936, showcases the vibrant energy of a circus advertisement from the era. The image captures billboard posters that completely cover the side of a building, promoting the Downie Brothers three-ring circus near Lynchburg, South Carolina. Evans masterfully captures both the grandeur and excitement associated with circuses during this time. The bold text on the posters draws attention to various attractions such as acrobats, clowns, horses, elephants, tigers, and even showgirls. These larger-than-life images promise an escape from reality and offer entertainment for people living through difficult times during the Great Depression. The photograph also provides a glimpse into rural American life in the Southeast during this period. It reflects how circuses were not only sources of amusement but also important social events that brought communities together. As viewers examine this image closely, they can almost hear laughter echoing through Lynchburg's streets as families eagerly anticipate attending this spectacle. Evans' composition highlights every intricate detail of these advertisements while preserving their historical significance. This print serves as a visual time capsule - reminding us of an era when billboards played an essential role in capturing public attention before television or internet advertising became prevalent. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Walker Evans nearly a century ago, we are transported back to a time when simple pleasures like attending a circus could bring joy and wonderment to people's lives amidst challenging circumstances.
