Framed Trapeze Posters
Trapeze artists are probably at the pinnacle of human’s physical abilities- they are graceful creatures that fly like bird, soaring through the air, for our amusement. They are as flexible as water, performing feats of gymnastics while defying aerodynamics. Yet they must be strong – and courageous as lion- because if you don’t have either of these, then your life on the air would definitely be cut short. Framed trapeze pictures can only do some justice to the skill and art these people possess.
“The Flying Redpaths” at Royal Hanneford Circus are featured in a series of framed trapeze photography that depict their skills. The photos look unbelievable, and yet when we see trapeze artists, we will our eyes to believe such feats with such ease. These pictures are definitely a testimony to their hard work and effort.
More antique framed trapeze art like “Hiroshige III, Big French Circus on the Grounds of Shokonsha Shrine” are found too. These show, how even in antiquity, humans were able to perfect their physical forms to achieve the closest thing to flying in the air. Who would you not call to witness such a feat, if you could do so? “Trapeze Artists” Barnum and Bailey, 1896 are another series of advertisements and posters by the famous travelling performance arts and curiosity troupe Barnum and Bailey. The detail and the colors of these posters definitely make it a vintage piece of art.
Cirque du Soleil also has many framed trapeze posters to offer, especially during its stint in the nineteenth century. These feature a variety of performers, and yes, trapeze artists, performing what they do best, against a stark background of black. It is visually striking and very appeasing.
