Collection of 1950s circus snapshots. Glossy silver print snapshots (3 ¾ x 6”) in original comb-bound paper albums, by Herman Linden of the Circus Fans of America-1269 and Circus Historical Society-204, Aurora, Ill. Predominantly portraits on the back lot of individual and small groups of circus performers such as clowns, equestriennes, aerialists, animal trainers, and other acts, many identified with the circus, name, and date on verso (includes King Bros., Hagen Bros., Jay Gould’s Circus, Mills Bros., and Ayres & Kathryn Davies Circus). Twenty-one albums, generally 11 prints per album (some with fewer). Condition generally fine. NICE LOT of vernacular postwar circus images.
