EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this scene from the Paris World's Fair of 1900, as illustrated by Caputo for Courmont Freres on a vintage postcard. The image showcases a lively group of circus entertainers and performers, gathered around their caravan, ready to entertain the crowds at the International Exposition Universelle. The drummer, with a mischievous grin, strikes a rhythm that echoes through the air, while the dancer, with grace and poise, balances on a tightrope. The carnival atmosphere is further enhanced by the colorful caravan and the intriguing ticket and discount coupon book in the foreground. The Paris World's Fair of 1900 was a global celebration of human achievement, attracting millions of visitors from all corners of the world. Courmont Freres, a renowned French publisher, produced a series of postcards, including this one by Caputo, to promote the various attractions and offer discounts to fairgoers. The circus, with its folk traditions and carnival spirit, was a popular draw at the fair, and these entertainers and performers, with their caravan and trailer, represent the nomadic lifestyle of the carnies. This historical image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of wonder and excitement, when the world came together to celebrate human ingenuity and creativity.
