EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Circus 1, Bronx, New York, [1935]," is an enchanting glimpse into the past, showcasing the magic and wonder of the circus during the Great Depression era in America. The image is a product of the Federal Theatre Project, an initiative created by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The project aimed to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced such cultural events. The poster's design is a vibrant and colorful representation of the circus, with navy blue and red hues dominating the background. The circus tent, a quintessential symbol of the traveling show, is depicted in the center, with the words "Circus 1" written in bold, white letters at the top. Below, a clown with a red nose and a mischievous grin, wears a navy blue mask, inviting the audience to the show with his laughing face and the enticing text "Come One, Come All!" written in Western script. The poster's graphic design is a testament to the artistic talent and creativity that thrived during the New Deal era, and serves as a reminder of the important role the arts played in lifting the spirits of the American people during a difficult time in history. This photograph is a valuable piece of heritage art, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the enduring allure of the circus.
