Footnote:
"The fame of Calder’s circus spread quickly between the years 1927 and 1930. All the Paris art world came to know it. It brought him his first great personal success. But what was more important, the circus also provided the first steps in Calder’s development as an original sculptor."James Sweeney

Very good overall. Normal toning and creasing present. Considerable wear to stiff covers.
