Step right up and witness the grand spectacle of the Belle Époque with this magnificent reproduction of Georges Meunier's 'Nouveau Cirque - America' poster. This iconic 1890s print captures the high energy, color, and cosmopolitan flair of Parisian circus life at its glamorous height.

Georges Meunier (1869–1942) was a talented graphic artist and contemporary of Jules Chéret and Toulouse-Lautrec, contributing significantly to the dazzling visual culture of fin de siècle Paris.

• The Nouveau Cirque: This poster promotes the Nouveau Cirque (New Circus), a permanent, chic establishment known for its elaborate staging, equestrian feats, and water spectacles. Unlike earlier, rougher circuses, the Nouveau Cirque catered to the wealthy Parisian elite.

• The 'America' Spectacle: The inclusion of "America" in the title points to a popular, often exoticized, transatlantic theme featuring cowboys, Native American imagery, or Buffalo Bill-style acts, which were immensely popular in Europe at the time. The poster often depicts a dynamic scene of horse riding or acrobatics, underscoring the spectacle's power and speed.

• Art Nouveau Style: The design uses the bold color and graphic power of lithography characteristic of the period, often featuring the long, flowing lines of Art Nouveau to suggest movement and the swirling lights of the performance arena. Meunier's work is characterized by strong compositions and clear, effective advertising messaging.
