Description

This clown is one image of over a dozen prints that originate from the very large (approx. 3.5 x 3.5 feet) linoleum block print called The Circus. Once the set prints of The Circus was complete the linoleum block was cut into smaller block prints. After these smaller print set were made all of them were also "retired". Only 25 original Clown with Mouse prints were produced.

The Circus itself has almost every imaginable thing that happens at the circus going on all at once under the big top. You can find something different every time you look at this print. There are other clowns depicting some of the traditional routines as well as acrobats, a lion tamer, a woman riding an elephant, trapeze artists, a guy getting shot from a cannon, and much more! Collect as a series or get the entire circus scene by purchasing The Circus.
