Object history
This poster was used for the tour this season since it has a space for printing the venue and date which has been overprinted. Associated Production: Fosset Brothers' Circus. Performers: Treoripee (the human ape), Jac Unal (magician), Adonis (Hungarian spotted stallion), Miss Candy Floss (the sweetest thing in show business), Judy (the horse with the human brain), Dimlow (the uneducated pony), The Fossetti Sisters (aerial performers), Freda and Frenchi (jugglers), Valentine's Poodle Review, Michello and Marie (comedy wire act). Malvern Link Common . 21.9.1970 - 22.9.1970. Performance category: circus. The programme took place twice daily. The adult 'popular prices' were 3/6, 5/-, 7/6 and 10/6, bookable. The note mentions that September 21st was a Monday. Since the prices are quoted in new pence yet the programme has many of the acts on S.3761-1995 which has prices in new pence, this is probably a 1970 poster.
