Description
Artist: ANONYMOUS
Size: 38 3/4 x 30 1/4 in./98.5 x 77 cm
Condition: B+/ Slight tears in vertical fold.
Printer: Srobridge Litho, Cincinnati
Reference:
Barnum & Bailey / The Great Male Hurdle Race. ca. 1892.
Normally depicted as a female routine, the allure of this hurdle-jumping event is that all the jockeys here are male. This fact also allowed the artist to show more violence and danger in the illustration, as there are no known circus images of female equestrians falling to the ground like the foremost rider in this poster.
