This is a tour poster for a season of tenting circus presented by the exotically-named Rosaire's British and Continental Circus and Jungle. It is overprinted with details of the venue and date of the circus. Although no year is given it could possibly be 1938 when the 26th September fell on a Monday. The circus appeared under the same name at Bletchley Park in May 1940.

Some of the '20 Star Acts' in the circus are listed as: De Gracias Assan [sic] Elephants; The Flying Rosaires; La Petite Vivian ('Charming Lady Equestrian'); Da Costa ('Russian Cossack Rider Extraordinaire'); The 5 Moras ('Triple Bar and Trampoline'); Don Valentino ('The Spanish Wizard on the Wire'); Billy & Betsy ('Ponies of Human Intelligence'); Miss Ida Zanetti (Wonderful Horsemanship'); Martin Russell's French Poodles; Sisters Pauline ('Graceful Trapeze Artist'); Funny Jimmy Green and his Troupe of Clowns; Rosaire's Group of Forest-Bred Lions.

The acrobat Fred Ross, born in 1877, started the fairground show that developed into Rosaire's Circus in 1904, when he bought a fairground booth at Rippenden and took it on the road with his wife, a widow, Florence Berrisford, (nee Arnold). Calling themselves Count Frederick and Countess Rosaire and buying a top for a circus a year later, their circus grew from a one-man circus to a family business. Their horses were commandeered during the first world war when Fred worked as a coal-miner but he started again after the war.

The mainstay of the circus became the Count and Countess's children - their four sons, Aubrey, Dennis, Ivor and Derrick, and four daughters, Vivienne, Zena, Ida and Cissie. All were good riders. Aubrey was the clown Jimmie Green, and Dennis who married a Spanish circus artiste, was Don Valentino the wire-walker resplendent in Spanish costume. Vivienne appears on this poster as La Petite Vivian, and Ida as Ida Zanetti.
