Cirque Ancillotti Plege (literally translates to "Ancillotti Plege Circus" and sometimes known simply as "Cirque Ancillotti"). This is one of many 1920s French circus posters promoting a show, and featuring artwork of circus clowns, animals, and other performers. Note that the Plege circus was well-known in France in the 1900s. After the death of Antoine Plege, his widow and then his son ran the show. In 1908, Plege's daughter married Ugo Ancillotti and they eventually created the Cirque Ancillotti Plege.
Artist: Beauvais
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II French poster, which we have only previously auctioned once before, but that example was incomplete, while this one is complete! Virtually no French posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II. Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! Finally, note that this French poster was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap.

Condition: fair to good. The poster is very fragile and has some darkening, separation, and small paper loss on parts of the folds. It certainly can be linenbacked, and it will look great afterwards, but bear the above in mind before bidding.
