Heavily inspired by the French Art Nouveau artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec and Mucha, the vibrant lithographs used to promote the arrival of the circus are now considered sought-after works of art.
Sideshow owner Ken Harck is the world's leading collector of vintage circus posters. In this gallery we invite you to view favorites from his vast collection. More circus art from this golden age can be found in the feature documentary FREAKY CIRCUS GUY.
The Freaky Circus Guy documentary is directed by Jane Burek. All photos on this page and website are either stills from the documentary or were taken by director Jane Burek.
