VINTAGE CIRCUS POSTERS

SET OF EIGHT

"THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH"

The Big Cats * The Ringmaster * The Big Top

The Acrobats * The Elephants * The Clowns 

The High Wire * The Roustabout and Circus Wagon

As the enclosed illustrations will confirm, I believe that the eight individually hand painted covers that comprise this set will be judged the absolute finest produced by any cachetmaker. By using a black background on these covers, the hand painted artwork has a stunning visual quality and, quite frankly, are among the nicest I've ever offered. The recently offered Harry Potter set is now sold out, so be sure to order these Circus beauties promptly. Don't miss out.

At a one-per-month shipping schedule, they are affordable for every hobby budget. There's no doubt these First Day Covers will be eagerly sought once I'm sold out. Each of the lovely new stamps is tied to the envelope with the Sarasota, Florida bullseye first day of issue postmark. I honestly can't wait until my Collins collectors see these covers in person. They are amazing.

When considering the cachet designs, I thought about the images that as a collective group would portray the world of the circus. I decided on the big cats and elephants. The ringmaster and the roustabout. The acrobats and the high-wire artist. The ever-present clowns. And the Big Top itself, the huge canvas circus tent that would travel to towns large and small across America. The Big-Top in which the ringmaster would loudly proclaim, "Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages, welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth!"

This truly incredible set of eight hand painted Collins First Day Covers is now ready. Vintage Circus Posters.
