Up for sale is a detailed Real Photo Postcard capturing a traveling European circus performance in the early-to-mid 20th century. The primary image features a dramatic outdoor high wire tightrope act with acrobats balanced on towering platforms above an open air ring. A large local crowd fills temporary grandstands, surrounded by circus baggage wagons, living quarters, and tents.
The large billboard painted on the side of the main wagon foreground on the left reads "Circus Variete Sch... Charles", likely "Circus Variete Schau Charles" (Circus Variety Show Charles). This targets the postcard to the historic German Circus Charles fleet (famous precursor to the Krone circus dynasty), specifically promoting their traveling Variety Show.
The reverse features an unposted divided back layout. It bears the publisher mark vertically down the center "LEONAR". Size: Categorized as Standard (5.5 x 3.5 in) for search filtering. Actual physical dimensions are 5 3/8 x 3 1/2 inches due to the factory-original deckled edges and early continental manufacturing cuts. A wonderful piece of circus, entertainment, and social history.
Shipping: Carefully protected in a poly sleeve, toploader, and sturdy stay-flat mailer with cardboard backing, then securely packaged and shipped with tracking to ensure a safe delivery.
