EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage advertisement for the thrilling show of the cannon man at Folies Bergere in France during the 20th century. The poster, hanging mid-air with its full-length depiction, captures the essence of this daring performance that mesmerized audiences back in the day. In this vertical composition, we see two people - a fearless performer and an elegant woman - illustrating the danger and excitement that awaited spectators under the big top. The cannon man is shown suspended upside down in mid-air, defying gravity as he flies through space propelled by sheer force. His impressive moustache adds to his charismatic presence. The artistry of this illustration and painting transports us to a time when advertising was both visually striking and skillfully crafted. It reflects not only on arts, culture, and entertainment but also on history itself. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how media has evolved over time while still captivating audiences with awe-inspiring performances like these. This outdoor stage costume spectacle truly embodies the spirit of performing arts events from yesteryears. Without mentioning any specific company or commercial use, this print invites us to appreciate an era where courageous performers risked their lives for our amusement while leaving us breathless with their incredible feats.
