About the Poster:
These rare posters advertise a series of shows put on by the Royal Netherlands Circus in the summer of 1881 in front of the Isator, one of the four main gates of Munich's medieval city wall. The shows were headed by Oscar Carré, a Dutch-German entrepreneur, circus director, and the namesake for the prestigious Oscar Carré Trophy.
These posters boast an ancient Rome-inspired show, complete with gladiator-style ring fights, chariot races, and a triumphal procession. They also describe the star horses of the show: Vladimir, a racehorse from Hanover, and Mahmoud, a stallion descended from a horse gifted to the circus by Queen Elizabeth of Hungary (1854-1898).
Posters are delicate and have tears and some staining on the edges. See photos for more details.
