A design inspired by Victorian era circus poster illustrations
- specifically American ones in fact; such as those of Barnum & Bailey " The Greatest Show On Earth". Here we have some nicely drawn creatures
- a superb tiger; a monkey & a bear, both riding American Star bicycles
- they had the big wheel at the back, the opposite our own Penny Farthing, & one top hatted ursine astride a " Dandy Horse". I love this design with its energy, the beautiful rich, vintage colours & contrasts; fun certainly, dynamic but having a sort of inner calm or sense of nostalgia. The collar, cuff & plaquet are lined with another circus theme print & the shirt has a single button cuff.
