Winship & Sons Circus & Zoo Original Poster 1940s – Framed
An original 1940s poster for Winship & Sons Circus & Zoo, approximately 32 x 11 inches and already framed with a perspex cover.
Travelling circuses with menageries toured towns across Britain in this period, and long letterpress-style posters like this were pasted up ahead of their arrival.
Surviving circus posters from the 1940s are scarce, as most were pasted over or thrown away, making this an appealing piece of vintage entertainment memorabilia ready to hang.
