An Original Vintage Linenbacked Polish Circus Poster (measures 27 3/4" x 39" [70 x 99 cm]) (Learn More) Cyrk (literally translates to "Circus"), the Polish circus poster featuring great artwork. Contemporary Polish circus posters emerged in 1962 as a genre of the Polish School of Posters. They are characterized by their display of aesthetic qualities such as painterly gestures, linear design, hand-lettering, metaphors, humor, and vibrant colors. Usually based on a single theme and meant to be advertisements, they were created in an attempt to interest the passerby in the upcoming circus. However, they proved so popular that some were reprinted and sold directly to the public and we list those as commercial posters. Artist: Waldemar Swierzy Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Polish circus poster! Note that we don't know if this poster was actually used to advertise a circus, or if it was sold or given away as a commercial poster using the circus poster art. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster was never folded and had some creases and scuffs scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. Unfortunately, after the poster was backed, it acquired water staining in the top left corner of both the poster and the linen. It can be restored, but bear this major defect in mind before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
