Princeton University Library Circus Posters Archive

If you're freaked out by clowns, then maybe this gallery isn't for you. Princeton University Library has an extensive collection of circus posters spanning the years from 1850 to the 1960's, from the major names like Ringling Bros. to lesser known big-tops. The no-nonsense format links the image to information about date, circus of origin, place of performance, how acquired, and size. The images linked are huge and of excellent quality.
