Circus - Cirque Strassburger. 168X85,2cm / 66,2x33,5in. Original poster in 3 parts. Lithograph. Cond A- original folds. The creation of the first troupe seems to have been in Germany, where the Strassburgers acquired a great fame and suffered the torments of intolerance towards the Jews during the different conflicts (1870, 1914-1918 and 1939-1945). In 1939, the owner of the circus in Germany, who had been expelled because of his Jewish origins and had taken refuge in France, resumed his original profession as a horse trainer by working in a French circus, and their shows of trained horses, "the Strassburger cavalry," toured Europe and also performed in France. Each poster will be put in a tube, or grouped in a tube with the other lots from the same buyer. Original poster in 3 parts. Lithography. Cond A- original folds.
