Alar the Human Arrow at Barnum and Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth
Advertisement in colour lithograph printed by Courier, Buffalo
England, 20th century
The image is of Pansy Chinnery mid-way through a paper hoop in the air. She is surrounded by other trapeze artists of The Flying Zedoras.
Pansy�s older sister ran away to the circus and when their parents died Pansy went to join her. The sisters from Liverpool began performing as The Zedora Sisters and toured across America with Barnum and Bailey�s Greatest Show on Earth between 1891 and 1896.
Pansy is known as Pansy Zedora in the trade and was very popular on both sides of the Atlantic. During her career, Pansy never suffered any fatal consequences and died peacefully in her sleep in a nursing home in 1969 at the age of 90.
Custom printed on 280gsm smooth matte fine art paper.
